999 doesn't always mean it's an emergency

Today I have been free from alcohol for 999 days. I’m only making a fuss about it because the number looks so good written down, 999. I knew when I quit alcohol I would reach this figure because I gave up forever so the number is immaterial, but it’s so nice to get here I am going to write it down again, 999. Wouldn’t you like to get there too?
