This just gave me tears! Maybe because I had a moment like that, too, and ran with it.

…d by the presence of Hope (her actual name!), who is celebrating her one-year sobriety anniversary. I am consumed with a desire to be like her, arriving glowing and triumphant one year hence, finally free. In that moment, like a prisoner whose cell door is magically opened, I recognize my chance to escape. All the games and trials and ‘not sure when but soon’s become a pure, sweet, simple Now. I have not touched alcohol since.
