Milestone Birthday Tomorrow :)

Well, tomorrow will be my 50th birthday. And my first birthday in probably 20+ years that I will be celebrating SOBER. My "bellybutton" birthdays are important, as I ponder the fact that it is nothing short of a miracle that I have arrived here, given my past history with prescription drugs and alcohol. But my sober birthdays from here on out are going to be more meaningful, because without sobriety, I might not have had many more "bellybutton" birthdays ahead of me.

Hubby is taking me out to a Japanese steakhouse tomorrow for some Kobe beef, which I've never had. I can't wait. How wonderful to be celebrating such a milestone as a sober person ... I'll be sipping iced tea and just enjoying every moment. I'm grateful to God, to my family, to my sober friends, and to SR for getting me here.

Life can indeed begin anew ... if you are willing and able. I am looking forward to spending as many years sober as I did as a drunk. That would mean I'll live another 30 years or so.

Hugs to ALL of you and thank you so much for the support on this journey. I could not have done it without you.

Happy Birthday desertsong. The 1st sober birthday I had since abut the age of 15 was when I was 52. The only reason that happened was because I was in jail. Enjoy your day. :day2

Kobe is wonderful...I think I had mine on the rare side...I told them to prepare it as chef sought fit. It melts in your mouth!

Congrats on your Birthday!!!
