I really don't care much at all about how many days it has been for me, personally. I come from the "quality not quantity" school of recovery. I know that my last SI session was sometime between Christmas 2005 and New Years 2006, but it's never mattered to me the exact number of days, I've been too busy living the life of a free man to care.
There are a lot of people that are helped by counting the days, though. It's my opinion (and this isn't anything that I could produce proof of, it's just an opinion) that when a person is ready to stop, they will stop whether they are counting days or not; for me to stay permanently abstinent of SI, it took a heck of a lot more than just thinking about how long I'd been behaving myself.
