28. One Unique Day at a Time

"How long you been sober?" Howard asked me.

"Today and a bunch of days before that," I said. He stared at me. "Okay, almost twenty-eight years."  

"That's so many days.  When I hear 'one day at a time' I cringe.  My days haven't been a picnic since I got sober."

"Not all your days will be like," I said.  "Days will most likely get better.  Because you're not numb, you will have days where you're more aware of the pain.  Rather than think of a long line of days just like today, change the slogan to 'each unique day at a time.'"

I will live each unique day one day at a time.
