Thinking back i could of been at 2 years at 7 months and 23 days today. But i am at day 5. All i can say is sober for the next 24 hours. The family is already making a big deal of my birthday and i hate it. It causes me anxiety. Even before i had my drinking career i hated my birthday. Its been a reminder of bad things since i was 17. Now is no different. So today i hope to focus on positives, gratitude and less attitude with those around me. 5 days is no fleeting strech but its a longer strech than I day 24 hours ago. I am thankful for things like talkong sober and zoom meetings. Have a great day everyone! Day one or One day?

Happy birthday! 
Sober birthdays are the best! (mine’s Wed) Congrats on 5 days! Don’t dwell on what could’ve been. If I hadn’t relapsed, I’d have 5 years, but I can’t change that. I’m grateful I’m here now. Everyday taken one at a time adds up. Today is your one day of the year! You should enjoy it

I kinda put my foot down for celebrating my birthday. I gave them the following, " if you want to celebrate my birth day, we do it on March 23…when I got sober…or we dont celebrate at all".
The exception to that is my mother. I figure since i came flying out of her whoha, she can celebrate when ever she wants
