Congrats on the 412 days!
I can relate to many of your struggles.
I too take regular walks by my old hangout, as I walk by, I try to look inside to see if I recognize anyone, I usually do. My biggest struggle is that I have many more good memories of using than bad ones, as I too was a high functioning chemically dependant person. It's been over 18 months since my last drink. Weekly AA meetings have really helped me this time around. Drinking really isn't even a passing thought anymore, even on weekends. My subconscious must be thinking about it though because some times I have alcohol/drug related dreams. I wake up feeling riddled with guilt until I fully awaken, then I realize it was just a dream.
