From a proud Irish Mic, Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! This will be my second sober St. Patrick's day. I used to purposely take off work the day after so I could enjoy being miserably hungover. I used to buy two cases of Murphy's Irish Red and that didn't count whatever I was drinking at a pub.

Now I will be going to my home group tonight at 7PM then a beginners meeting at 8:30PM. I still hang my flag of Ireland and Erin Go Bragh flags outside, and wear my Ireland soccer jersey.

Happy SOBER St Patty's Day everyone!!!

Yeah happy St.Paddy's day everybody. My mother is Scottish, but her mum was Irish (guess that makes her half Irish). My father is Mauritian, which has nothing to do with St.Patricks day.

Used to love getting f*cked up on St.Patricks day, then again I used to love that every day.

Not today folks!!! Lá Fhéille Pádraig Shona!!!

A fifth of Old Bush mills and St. Paddy’s WEEK was off and running. The Nagle clan is from County Cork and I did my best to uphold the family's name. It has been 9 years since I settled in with a VCR of "The Quiet Man" and corned beef.

I still do corned beef and the Duke and Ms. O'Hara are still my favorite St. Patrick’s Day companions, but I watch through clear and focused eyes.

Enjoy the day everyone.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!! This is my second sober one as well Tom, kind of odd, but the only thing I ever knew about the day was that it was a day it was semi accetpable to get crap faced drunk, other then that to me it was just another day. I am going to have to go find out what it is really about.

Right on Jon! Haven't watched that movie in awhile, at least not sober. This is my third St. Paddy's Day in sobriety, we'll have corned beef on Friday for our office potluck lunch!

Ahh - my mother's side (Kennedy) are County Cork folk.

Yeah - corned beef and cabbage are gonna be dinner tonight.

It was delicious (the corned beef and cabbage, carrots, potataoes - etc).

Another sober St Patty's day (I think the last time I actually drank on St Patty's was 1998..)
