It's been over 3 years for me and the best thing, by far, I've ever done. Identifying, wrestling with and overcoming my personal triggers is how I turned the corner — perhaps what you called "it feels different this time" and "I GET to do this".

Good luck on your continued success. It's beautiful out here in soberland.
