I find this message important for me. If helps someone else that's ok. The intent is definitely not to absolve a non addict from doing the right thing today, rather to choose which steps we need for recovery

All sinners are addicts??
Surely not. The majority of Americans watch soft-core porn in R Rated movies frequently. Does that mean the majority of Americans are sex addicts? Nutty. Are most Americans alcoholics and need AA because they get drunk every few Superbowls? Surely not. And how then about most Lubavitchers who get drunk at Fahrbrengens a few times a year and at Simchas Torah, etc...and they are all alcoholics who need to go to AA to save their lives? Doubtful. Actually, silly

Mazel tov!!!

I actually think that GM makes a lot of sense. It Can be intimidating. Sure people are nice, but many of us feel so stupid and ashamed at ourselves after a fall, we don't know how we gave in Again, and we imagine that everyone else will judge us for it. Only someone else suffering from the same insane cravings can really understand. Now, it's true that many people with high clean counts still understand or feel those struggles, but when those high numbers are staring you in the face, you kindof feel that they are beyond all that garbage and are on to bigger and better things.

Fridays email was very compelling and makes me rethink whether I should show my count

"Rabbi Dr Abraham Twersky"

ou tell an alcoholic that he can never drink again, that is too formidable a challenge. Taking it one day at time is doable.

A friend who was sober 43 years recorded every day of his sobriety. The day before he died he entered 16,472 days in his diary.

Also I've received many congrats recently on my 90 day although I passed that a long time ago and this may be misleading

Shlomo24's Day 1 count also makes sense, so, many options are on the cards...

Thoughts?

Markz anything posted on this site must have in mind the best for the individual and the best for the the group at large. Since you brought it up, I for one never liked the idea of leaving the number of days clean, set to a particular number or milestone and never changed thereafter. To me it is either confusing or misleading.
I believe it should be at the true number or left empty. Of course, one can expect that a person not necessarily update daily but it should generally reflect a true number.

Just my two cents

Watson OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1280 Karma: 85	Personally I don't like the way it's put. To me 'current streak' implies that it's expected to be temporary. I prefer having a sobriety date rather than count days at all. Don't count your days, make your days count.

Markz OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 8203 Karma: 426	Yirai and Watson both of you are right down my street Kedusha has 2500+ days If I was a new user I wouldn't take his advice as seriously as someone with a low 100-200 day count I wouldn't either take as seriously someone with no count displayed I have a solution, and I think it needs a new group discussion, I hope to post it soon iyH gnite guys - love you all -

"current Streak" - I hear what you mean. To me I always read it an expression of a change from the past. Meaning: Before I have fallen multiple times but now this is my current streak with the hope it will be permanent.
As for "make your days count" I understand that is most important. As we always say one day at a time. Focus on this very day and even this very moment.
Yet, once in a while I like to take a peek and see and contemplate my count. As it grows it is a motivation for me. I am sure there are all types of preferences. This seems to work for me.

shlomo24 Current streak: 1 day OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 2213 Karma: 134	I have my day set permanently at 1 day because my program is a ODAAT program. If I post a streak it becomes about my ego. I don't even know how many days I am sober right now, but I know that I'm in a good place in life. It's up to others to take it or leave it.
