- To echo the posts of other, It is important to remember on any particular
- day, the amount of Sober/Clean time that you have depend merely upon when
- you woke up that morning. My personal obsession with time, Clean/Sober time
- hit me in the face on Day 77, waiting for the train to go to work, I figured
- out how many day's I had and then I relazied i was trying to count to a goal
- ...The goal being when i could go back out..........Scared, terrified at the
- way my warped mindcould preplan a re-descent in to Hell...I Stopped counting
- day's....I do celebrate Aniverseries, but quietly, with a small pat of the back
