Welcome SSOH!
Congrats on seven months sober! It really is a huge achievement!
I think as you close in on a year, you will decide that you don't want to return to drinking ever again. I think all of us here tried to moderate our drinking many times and many ways, with no success. I wish that I had quit drinking before having kids, as I don't remember so many memories that I could have had. At least I am present for them now.
For myself, I hope to never have to relive Day one, Week one, Month one, Year one, ever again. I view sobriety as a second chance at life. I hope you will also.
