August 28, 1984 is my first day without picking up a drink. August 27 is the date I put it down.
27 was always a lucky number for me.
I chose to make August 27 my sober date.
To make sense of it early on and not feel like I was being deceptive in any way I'd say, that's the date I quit drinking. That's the date I put the drink down. That's the date I had my last drink. Decades later, the actual date means very little. I say use whatever date make one happy.
