CAL 1 Marking Progress

It is useful for both you and your counselor to know where you are in the recovery process at all times. Marking a calendar as you go helps in several ways:

● It’s a reminder of how far you’ve come in your recovery.
● A feeling of pride often results from seeing the number of days you have been abstinent.
● Recovery can seem very long unless you can measure your progress in short units of time.

Make a mark to record on the calendar pages every day of abstinence you achieve. You may decide to continue the exercise following the program.

If you record your abstinent days regularly, this simple procedure will help you and your counselor see your progress.
