stop counting days

I think counting days is a great way to help the new guys push through those first couple weeks of struggle. I know it helped me a lot on my longest streak and it continues to help me today. It's a great way for one to take pride in their reboot as well. You don't want to have to come here and reset.

 

Pretty nice having Guts's daily input before going to bed. Keep it up with the good productive thoughts mate

 

I kinda agree to you but don't you think one needs a sense of achievement in the beginning when its measured in terms of days or weeks or even months the time you have been abstaining from chronic addiction for people like me, suffering for almost half of thier lifetime, i am turning 30 next month , i think its important to count till the day you forget to keep it and its the best day ever ! Right ?

 

littlekegger I completely agree. This is about learning a new lifestyle and making choices that will last. I think if it helps people in the beginning and builds some confidence for people to push forward then good for them. However, just like a diet, this is about a lifestyle change. No point in counting calories for a month if youre going to go back to eating how you did before. Same idea applies to this. Most of us on have an addiction or compulsion that will require us to continuously make new decisions that will result in the outcome we desire.
