congrats.
I remember where I was on 7-3-2016...on a family vacation at Virginia Beach. It was about 3 months before I got sober so I was at the tail end of my drinking career.
And that tail end was full of anxiety, panic, stress and a general awful feeling. Our family goes on a vacation every summer and over the last 20 years I did all the driving - but this last vacation I made my wife do most of the driving from Cleveland to Virginia Beach and back - my alcoholism was out of control and I was a mess.
7-3-2016 was not a good time for me!
Again congrats on 8 months.
