Sober Birthday
Sorry to make a new thread, but I gotta say. Today's my first birthday I've been completely 100% sober since I was 12, and my 75th day sober!
It's kind of different celebrating a birthday without booze, or being young enough for a kid's party. But I like it, it's a change for the good. No 20 shots for me!
Anybody else wanna talk about their first sober birthday?

Happy Birthday Lee - and congratulations
My first sober birthday was about 90 days in - I had planned to symbolically quit after my b'day but fate had other ideas.
It was not only my 40th but my first time at celebrating an occasion without drinking - it was a quiet but meaningful day spent at home...I spent it with a close friend
good memories!

no sober birthdays in a long time(since my teens). But I bet the food will taste much better on your birthday as we always had big spreads of food. I love food and it does taste much better without the booze. Congrats

My first sober birthday was exactly twenty years after the day I first drank alcohol. My first drink was a black russian on my sixteenth birthday, i was then more or less always drunk until i was thirty five, thirty six was my first sober.

My first sober birthday was about 30 days into sobriety and it was my 51st birthday, I know I had some sober birthdays before then but I couldn't remember any of them, I was happy and greatful to be alive and still am every single day.
You'll be able to enjoy it and remember it.
And yes, food will taste better.
