First sober birthday ever!

Well this feels like a milestone!
It's my birthday today, and I'm not planning a drink! Haven't had a sober birthday since I was 16!
Do you know what? It feels just fine!!x

Congrats!! My birthday is coming up in almost exactly a month, and I would be real happy to say the same thing.

Probably haven't had a sober one since my 17th.

Congratulations Jeni! It's a birthday to remember

. It's going to be nice to wake up tomorrow morning clear headed and say "I remembered everything about my birthday this year"

.

Sobriety in itself is the greatest gift ever

Jeni
I realised that too on my birthday , at 16 I went into my local and had a beer. Every year since then, I have had a drink on my birthday, bar 2012 forwards

Onwards and upwards

and Happy Birthday sweetie
