I disagree. The "one day at a time" conceit is also popular in 12 step programs, and it is intended to keep people from looking too far in the future and getting overwhelmed by the immensity of the task. There would be absolutely nothing wrong with saying "three weeks out of the rehab"; it would be an indication of achievement, and many 12-steps even award pins or other tokens for specific predesignated lengths of time. |
