Hey, Happy Birthday! Im so sorry you feel that way. I know the feeling very well. “Being alone”. But alcohol will not give you company. It will only make you feel lonelier & more sad. Maybe not right away but it will. But I think you already know that. My last birthday (I turned 30) I threw a party & got shit faced. My family had all moved out of state & I thought surrounding myself with alcohol & people would make me feel better. I ended up getting in a huge fist fight with some uninvited girls. All my real nails were completelt ripped off. My hair was ripped out. I had deep scratchs all over my body. They destroyed my home. I had earrings ripped out of my ears. I woke up the next morning hungover, in so much pain, & more depressed then I’d ever felt. I ruined my birthday. I let alcohol ruin my birthday. Point of my story is drinking will not help you. I hope you can find an alternative to enjoy your birthday. Go to lunch, sit outside, go see a movie, go for a walk, go to a meeting. Anything. Anything else. I hope you somehow have a good day. You deserve it. Dont give up.

Happy Birthday!
Celebrate yourself today sober with a nice meal and a movie at home. You’ll be happier when you wake up without a horrible hangover.
Congrats on 23 days! That’s no easy feat. Stay strong!

Happy Birthday @Emmers123 
I am sorry you feel so alone on your special day. You have given yourself the most amazing gift and that is sobriety. And you have joined the TS community so you never have to be alone again! This is where you will find never ending support and encouragement from people who have been where you are and felt what you have felt. Just get through today and leave tomorrow til tomorrow. I hope you do something beautiful for yourself today. Take care

It absolutely is worth it. YOU’RE worth it. Celebrate the awesomeness that is a sober you. That’s what birthdays are really about. Everything else is just pressure we put on ourselves for no good reason. You loving you is the best thing you can do.

Happy happy birthday to you! You aren’t alone, you’ve got a whole community here of people who are also battling addiction and want to support you. Do whatever you need to do today to feel better, take a nap, eat something, spend time with people or alone. Notice I didn’t say use your DOC to make you feel better. Deep down we know it makes us worse. Keep fighting. Your life is worth it. Here is a slice of cake and some flowers from a stranger who is rooting for you. 
You aren’t alone.

Happy birthday! I hope you’re able to reflect on the reasons you started this journey, and to feel proud that you’re able to overcome this obstacle. You can do this
Some may say poo, the sky is grey.
I don’t feel like it’s worth my time anyway.
Oh, but it is a wonderful day today, for it is Emily’s 23rd belly button day! (Spoken in my very best Dr. Seuss voice)
That’s awesome keep it up Emily
