It's my birthday weekend
So here we are. I am turning 33 this Tuesday but I'm having my birthday party this weekend. My SO is making 'Mocktails' for the party and we are having a Wii party. I am scooting right up on 60 days next week.
I can't remember a sober birthday since I was 19.
Mostly, I feel wonderful about having as much time as I do, but I'm also worried I'm not going to be able to enjoy my own birthday party because I won't be drinking!!
Thanks I just needed to put my fears out there.

I have Monday off of work to "recover" from my weekend (my bosses' words when offering it) and I am looking forward (and feel odd taking it) to actually using that Monday for more fun instead of actually using it to recover from a hangover 
I'm feeling an odd sense of loss, eventhough what I have planned is just as fun, if not more so because I won't be spending the whole weekend drinking to get over the hangover from the night before.

You know our firsts are hard and they will be. This is one reason I look forward to putting a year between me and the bottle. I will then be able to approach the events and say "Ah yes, I handled that a year ago and had so much fun."
Any ways - Happy Birthday you youngster!!!
I hope you have fun. I am a tad jealous of WII owners though. I want to score a used one at some point, but the used ones aren't much cheaper then the new ones. They are a hot commodity.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! sober is way more fun. you will actually remember it, and not have to spend the next day recovering from the night, or wondering what an A$$ you made of yourself! I am 21 days sober and turned 33/ 2 months ago, I wish I was sober then!! what an a@$ I made of my self then. I walked around with a 1.75 liter bottle of gin drinking right out the bottle. that was not a fun night or morning or week.
As a matter of fact my whole alcoholic career was miserable, completely miserable!

OMG I did need Monday to recover!!
We did so much stuff this weekend it was crazy!!
Friday we went dancing and to karaoke!
I had a great time Saturday night with my friends! A very funny stand-up comic I know came and she spent the whole night cracking up the crowd. Oddly, all of my light/non drinking friends came and only one of my heavy drinking/drunk friends came.
Mocktails ROCK! We made Faux Mojitos (from now on called FoMo's) and fruit smoothies.
Sunday we got up and made omelets then went hiking for 2 hours, then went to a movie with friends and then came home and played games with friends.
We were busy every second of the day and, needless to say, I spent a lot more time having fun than I would have drunk. By far.
