Birthday Thoughts

Today is my birthday.

I enjoyed sleeping in, decorating my new house, a pedicure, napping with my beagle, grilling out and now watching Stranger Things with my teenager. I feel peaceful and content.

Last year, I sulked that no one made any fuss (so entitled!) that I drank a bottle of wine, drove out for more, drank more, cried and passed out by myself. Was hungover and sick all weekend.

The difference is literally day and night, and it is amazing. Creeping up on seven months (Oct 15) Thank you SR

Happy Birthday!

Qoinkidink....It is also my Birthday!

I had some coffee, worked out, and ate steak and cheese sticks for dinner...yummm...!

I watched Dead Pool twice. Great movie.

My family and FB family all wished me Happy Birthday.

I was sober my last Bday as well.

Plan to be sober for all the rest too. So help me God.

Thanks.
