Counting the days......I saw the blogs this morning about day one etc and started to remember... Counting the days......
I saw the blogs this morning about day one etc and started to remember.Congrats on getting into the rooms. When my time was counted in days I was marking the callender and holding onto each day so tight my knuckles were white!!
My sponser at the time made a suggestion of not counting but just living each day as a new day without alcohol. I did this and my days became easier by not obsessing on what day I was on. One afternoon my sponser came over for coffee and asked me if I was nervous about leading the meeting that night.
I asked him what he was talking about and he started to chuckle. He said " Dude it is your ninety days today and at ninety you lead the beginners meeting." Wow!! By not counting the days melted away. Now I am working on 19 years and still don't count.
I take each day as it comes and thank my higher power for another day.

Re: Why count ?
I can't help but count toward my chips! I think it's part of the beginning, the fresh, wonderful symbol of giving your will and life to God. I loved getting my 24 hour chip, the support and sweet congrats from the group were wonderful. One month on July 10th but whose counting?
