Do you feel well enough to go out for a nice meal tonight or to a movie? Try to find something that will help you celebrate the day without drinking.

Happy birthday findingthepath

The best birthdays I've ever had as an adult have been my sober ones - my advice is do something good healthy and positive for yourself - what do you like to do?

start the year off as you mean to continue

FTP - happy birthday, Friend. This might not be one for the highlight books. But, please trust that better times await you in sobriety.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! It's your birthday you get to pick what you want to do, which means you can pick a place or activity with no temptations to drink.

Happy Birthday!!! I know it doesn't feel like it, but trust me, no one ever regrets a sober birthday. There must be something you'd like to do, but you may have to pick a pal who is going to 'get it'. It might not even be one of your closest friends, just someone who won't insist your day goes by without a drink in hand.

Enjoy.

Happy Birthday! My best friend's birthday is in 3 days and she already has a party planned. It will be really hard for me to be around that. I know she will understand if I don't go if I explain my situation. Reach out and be honest with your friends. If they are real friends they will be there for you. If they give you a hard time, they were never your friends in the first place. STAY STRONG!!
