Well @Button83, we did it! A sober birthday in the books! 
Speaking of books, started rereading one by the same dude who wrote “Generation X”. One of my still-best-pals gave this book to me thirty years ago 
But hey, if I’m gonna be 54 years old? There’s only one way - sober and in the company of you fine folk.
Thank you for the well wishes @AyBee, @TrustyBird, @SoberWalker, @Seb, @Runningfree, and @Mno! @Cjp please join the shin-dig! There’s still time and more chapters left!

Had a meeting at my future work yesterday. Got all kind of cool stuff like kids-proof coffee cup, water bottle, notebook etc and t-shirt. With typo in my name, why not 
In few weeks I start work in kindergarten! I’m super excited and my boys are even more excited that mommy gonna be “juf” (dutch word).

Happy birthday girl! I haven’t been on much, sorry I missed the actual day. Hope it’s all you wanted it to be!

Checking in to celebrate 1 year!!! 
The first photo is from the morning after a night out, not long before i decided to quit alcohol a year ago. I have no memory of the walk home, but my face must have found a hawthorn bush. I hate this picture so much and vividly remember how sad and full of self-loathing I was.
The second is from my 40th birthday last month, celebrated with family and feeling happier than I ever have.
I made one change and it has changed so much in my life for the better 
This community has helped me so much along the way, thank you
