Counting Days and Beyond: The Role of Time in AA Recovery

Where we are Today and what we do with those hours is our responsibility.
Ever thought about the weight we place on counting days, months, or years in sobriety? In this episode of the AA Grapevine's Podcast, hosts Don and Sam tackle this very topic, sharing their personal takes on the significance of sober time. Don opens up about his discomfort when others highlight his sober milestones, while Sam brings a fresh perspective, stressing that what truly counts is how we use our time today.
They explore the upsides and downsides of keeping track of sober time and what it means for one's recovery journey. The episode also features Gail V., who talks about her experience getting sober at a young age. Gail's story is a candid look at the hurdles and triumphs she faced in early sobriety. Throughout the conversation, there's a recurring theme: the importance of staying connected and practicing AA principles to maintain well-being.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for years, this episode offers valuable insights into how we perceive and measure our progress in recovery.
