I don't have one, but totally understand them. When I first stopped drinking I counted every day since I stopped on a calendar. It helped remind me that I''d made it through another day without drinking. I'm now counting months instead of days - and am really looking forward to picking up my 6 month sober chip at AA when I hit it. I think it's helpful to have milestones to mark your progress when you're trying to change a really harmfull behaviour. On the other hand I can't tell you the exact last time I cut - it was sometime last summer, but I'd been si free for over 3 years up to that point, so I didn't start recounting because I viewed it for what it was for me, a slip when I was under immense pressure, not a return to an old coping mechanism.
