Help! Select count from a list of digits ??

Hi group - I'm using php to extract data from postgres and print to
browser. I have data that was input through checkboxes on a form -
each checkbox had a different value but got pushed into the same
column.

So - my values look like this:
surveys=# select distinct(additionaldeliverablearray) from csssurvey;
additionaldeliverablearray
----------------------------

1,2,3,19,23
1,8,10
19,23
2,7,10,23
3,5,7,12,13,14,17,19,20,22
4,8,9,10,12
6,7,10,12,17,20,21
6,9,10,12,17,20
(9 rows)

I need to be able to *count* how many distinct numbers were checked ?

I've tried
select count where additionaldeliverablearray like ('1')
select count where additionaldeliverablearray in ('1')

Any ideas ??

THANK YOU!

Syl.
