Way to Go, Vida!
I just wrote a long post regarding how I love MWO's counting as opposed to the AA way of counting.
MWO is so much more positive and really tunes in to how much less you are drinking spending, etc. AA seems to want to keep counting until you have 1 drink and then smack on the nose and back to the end of the line.
I don't want to get down on AA, but it seems really counterproductive to be waiting for failure rather than rewarding success.

Anyway, good for you. I remember when you first started coming to this board, sounding bleary eyed and desperate (like me!) and now you sound terrific. I'm so excited for you.

Take care,
Kel
