Hi Scamy
Congrats on your 3 weeks.
Would it be selfish to ask people not to drink on your birthday?
If you think you'll be troubled or tempted, then I think it's an idea worth considering if you think it's viable...
I'd probably just go for a small family get together with a 'dry bar' of soft drinks, but thats me.
And I don't touch St Patricks Day with a ten foot pole.
Dunno what it's like there, but round here, it's a drinking occasion - and I have no business, or interest, in being there
