clean time
Sober days counted
Clean time is the period someone in addiction recovery has remained abstinent from drugs or alcohol.
It functions like a personal milestone, often counted in days, months, or years: She has eighteen months of clean time.
The term is especially common in twelve-step programs and recovery communities, where accumulating clean time marks progress and commitment to sobriety.
