It's my birthday, and I'm celebrating by NOT drinking!

So today is my 47th birthday, and I'm going to celebrate and NOT drink alcohol. I'm on Day 27, and I think this might actually be the first birthday since I turned 21 that I haven't drunk alcohol. I have to admit, the idea of wine with my dinner tonight sounds amazing, but I'm not willing to mess things up at this point! I know I can't "just" drink a glass of wine with dinner.

My husband took me out a couple nights ago to celebrate, and it was the first time I had EVER eaten in that particular restaurant without alcohol. I wanted a special drink, so I tried this drink called a Coconut Cooler. It was SO AMAZING! I've been missing out on amazing, non-alcoholic things for years without even realizing it!! It was so good, in fact, that I bought the ingredients and am going to try to re-create it here at home.

So tonight for my birthday, I'm going to celebrate by spending time with my children and ordering a nice, big, fat juicy steak!

It feels GREAT to be sober!!

Happy Birthday! Hope you have an awesome day, sounds like you have a great plan to make it happen!
If you don't mind , I suggest a slight tweak to your post title, something just to **** the AV off(it's ok , that pathetic lying slime weasel deserves it)
"I'm celebrating my birthday, not drinking" ( hope the subtle change comes across)
Enjoy your day

Thanks everyone!! It's going great so far! Got to spend lots of time with my nineteen year old daughter, which is great because I don't get to see her nearly enough anymore!
