Maybe sometimes fixating on a sunk cost is a human mechanism for reinforcing a lesson learned. I recently gave up alcohol. Every day that passes, I reflect on the growing number of days. Any perceived cost of abstinence lies in the past, but somehow the growing number of days carries more weight as I contemplate the future.

Thanks. Well, I'm not promising that nary a drop will ever cross these lips again. But so far, so good. 😊
