I'm wondering if you might compile a list please? It would be very helpful...and this post is extremely timely for me. I'm at chapter 3 again. Thanks so much for posting the chapters...<br /><br />Thanks, LLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490576459118958941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-81559585133195301922015-05-12T09:40:38.295-07:002015-05-12T09:40:38.295-07:00I have that poem on my work wall.

It seems even more applicable to life now.<br /><br />My personal feeling on counting is that it's irrelevant. You are on the sober path one day at a time.<br />That said, if you are counting days, or celebrating milestones at AA, there is some accountability to honesty that must reset the counter at 1 if you drink. I don't mean if you accidentally pick up someone's glass and sip from it. <br />But if you choose to drink alcohol part of a 12 step program requires rigorous honesty.<br /><br />Having more days is not a sign of being better or more successful. It is just a measure of how long you have been free. <br /><br />Regardless, staying at chapter 3 is important. <br /><br />AnneAinsobrietyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642935819165465190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-58894850342082506212015-05-12T07:53:46.563-07:002015-05-12T07:53:46.563-07:00You're doing brilliantly Lucy!

In that time on two occasions I have sipped about half a glass of wine, I see no reason to let that derail me, i still consider myself nine months sober. Ww can use counting against is if we let her, our aim is to reach a new happier state of sobriety regardless of number of days.
