Birthday blues

Well, I gotta be honest. I spent the last decade drunk. This was my first birthday sober I can remember other than being a kid. So like 16 til now. Alcohol or whatever. I hit 30 yesterday and it brought some weird feelings. Just kinna pushing through them. I started
Taking a generic one a day vitamin and it was making me sooooo tired during the day and strange dreams again so I had to stop. Got a energy vitapak from gnc instead. I feel a little better today but still groggy. Falling back in the circle of smoking cigarettes a lot. Going to try and tackle that again. I think tomorrow is 80 days sober. Naturally just going for today but can’t wait to hit a year. I think about alcohol sometimes but no crazy urges. Anyway.....just a little update

Happy birthday, well done on 80.
After a while you won’t be wishing your life away I promise.

Congrats on the 80 days!

I had my first sober birthday last year in probably 40 years. Thursday will be my second one.

The year has made a huge difference. Hang in there!

Congratulations. 30 is a milestone birthday I think. Brilliant on the 80 days. Hope you treated yourself.

Happy Birthday!

Thirty is a great age. Reflection and growing up are what I remember most about it.

Congrats on the 80 days, too. That's a great birthday gift. Let's see, 80 X $10 (I spent at least $10 a day on alcohol) = $ 800 not spent on poison.

You could have a nice week at the beach for that - in a hotel, with a pool and room service.

80 days - how wonderful, notsodrunk. 30 is so young, & you have many healthy years ahead - free from the drama & misery of alcohol addiction. Congratulations!
