St. Patricks day is makin' mah mad

I haven't celebrated this day in a bunch of years. Today everyone's fb was drinking. Green beer, black beer, blah blah. I don't even drink beer. But I found this to be an incredibly difficult day. And a bit resentful I wasn't out. It was sober in 10 minute chunks. Anyway I'm going to bed soon. When I wake up I'll have 6 weeks sober! Booooooooom!!!
Oh and I'll be 55 tomorrow. Pfffffffft!

I used to drink myself sick on St. Patrick's Day. Started in the morning and went till the next morning. I don't miss it at all.

Since it's already tomorrow here, Happy Birthday, my friend.

There are up days , there are down days with sobriety Raider .
If you stay sober today, tomorrow has the chance to be different , if we drank we can guarantee a horrid day .

I'm staying sober , so fun things have the chance of happening tomorrow , i hope your with me … WooooOOOoooo

Bestwishes, m

You child.

And Raider, just between you and me, I think a lot of people say a lot of things on FB that are a tad more fictional than factual.

Hi Raider, SPD is a hard time for some being a drinking fest. So glad you stuck it out. Six weeks and a birthday tomorrow, well done you!

Happy birthday and good job on six weeks. Ignore those posts on Facebook. I stopped following any people who post about drinking. That eliminates a lot of them.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Raider, happy birthday to you!!! And congrats on six weeks. You rock!

Must be a reason I stopped looking at Facebook eons ago. And As I drove past the numerous bars lining the street I follow to get home I was glad I wasn't inside fighting the crowds and as the drivers around me seemed to be driving more erratically than usual I was glad that I wouldn't be one risking an arrest for DUI last night.

Yay for you! A celebratory birthday twerk in the wings?
