Briansy, congratulations on Day 19. That's amazing progress, and I'm glad that the "geographic cure" has worked for you.

Many-a-person has met their downfall through attending a wedding or other festive affair with booze flowing, so I understand August's concern. (And also, you did belatedly lament that you didn't get the tough love you thought you needed previously.) If you are 110% positive that a drop will not pass your lips due to the "safe zone, no option" place you mention, then I trust you on that (I'm not the tough love type.) However, you may want to have an escape plan in place just in case the unthinkable option arises?

You're right that getting back to your regular life is a precarious venture. Aside from working hard and remaining vigilant, what other plans have you made to maintain your new sobriety? What needs to change in your life to give you the best chance possible?
