David - Great post. I am a Sept. 8 "baby" too - I've been using this site ever since to stay blissfully sober. I haven't posted more than a couple of times, but felt a real common bond with your story, even beyond the anniversary date. This board has been at times a lifeline, a cheerleader, a vivid reminder of what I've left behind, a vision of what the future can be if I stay on track, and a daily reminder I'm not alone.
As you said to any newcomers - this can be you. A day can dawn when alcohol does not have any significance in your day to day life - and every event and non event that you feared would not be the same without alcohol, well, it won't be the same. It will be better, and more satisfying, and you'll have clearer recall of these times and more vivid memories to savor, and no regrets for things said or done under the influence.
Congrats on your 3 months ... I can tell you are as in love with your new sober life as I am with mine. Isn't it great?
Debbie
