600 days. First, that is amazing. I remember the first time I noticed you in the forum. I had the idea you were a newcomer, but you must have had some sobriety already under your belt, because that doesn't seem like 600 days ago.

But these benchmarks in sobriety do have the elements of surprise when they are reached. At the beginning, they seem unreachable, and many of us (me included) had a low confidence level about ever seeing it happen. Then we cross that line at some point, and we know we can do it, even expect it. But no matter how much we know it's going to happen, even right up to a week before it happens, there is still that memory of how impossible it seemed at the start. The benchmark is reached, and we look back remembering those days when it seemed like something that required super human ability.

But here we are just regular people that moved what at one time, we thought was a mountain. Way to go, Girl.
