To Count or Not Count the Days

Hi Gardner I'm surprised that you refer to your count as giving you a false sense of pride! I am very proud of my count and I love to see the number get higher each day. I think I might stop at 100 days but watching the number get bigger has been incredibly powerful for me!

Hi Sobriety is a choice.

I am not so much proud of my count as grateful for it. Perhaps that is all Gardener meant.

What I meant by "false sense of pride" was that as my goal date approached I felt as if I had conquered the beast and was prideful of that, but alas, it was a false sense, because I fell!

Had my eyes on the target, not on the journey. Still learning here.

Sorry if this doesn't make good sense, foggy brain :-).

never mind gardener .....you will find your own way
but we need a goal and a target ...small ones to conquer if we make them to big we fall ........just one day at a time .......and think of the accomplishment ......when you can say i did that .......
a day
a week
a month etc

love your comment my garden is always full of weeds not some dread summer coming when they will shoot off quicker than i can pull them out
