    Today is my Birthday and I will not drink!

    Today will be the first "sober" birthday that I recall having in many, many years.

    Today I will reflect upon how good being sober feels. I will make a committment to my 11yr old best friend, my doggie, to remain sober today...for she has lymphoma and her time left with me is limited and I want to enjoy each and every moment we have left together.

    For all you newbies out there...never give up hope. Even if you fall, pick yourself back up and try, try again. It is so worth it. Soon you will learn the difference in being sober as opposed to being drunk. It might not happen overnite, but eventually you will come to see that being sober feels so much better.

    Trust me, I have fallen and picked myself up many times. And sober is WAY better.

        :bday7: What a great way to spend your Birthday. I love my dog and miss her so much. I had to give her to my ex-husband when I bought this condo. Somehow, no one told me when I bought the place that my dog would not be allowed here. Everyone involved in the transaction knew that I had a dog. How that was just overlooked, I cannot imagine. It broke my heart. I remember spending my 39th birthday, in bed, with a bottle of vodka. On my 40th, I was clean and sober. I went out for a nice Japanese dinner. I bet you can guess which birthday I enjoyed more. Have a Great Day!

            Cindi, One2Many, New Day and Seacailin....Thanks so much for the Bday wishes!! It means so much to mean to have my friends here at MWO.

            I am at work and no one remembered it is my Bday today...makes me feel a tad bit bummed.

            Seacailin...so sad about your doggy. Do you get to visit with your doggie? I cannot imagine life without my dogs (I have 2) and I got my doggie in the divorce. It was hell trying to rent...but there was not another option for me. My doggies are the ones that make me laugh each day.

            Again, hugs to all my MWO friends...I never would have made it this far without all of you.

              R2C,

              HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope it is splendid for you. I never let my work know my birthday. Every year they send out an e-mail asking for it and I never respond.

              May your new year be the best and healthiest ever. Please give the doggies some extra attention from me today!

              Peace

                I have only seen her once in 9 months. Before, I couldn't handle it emotionally. My Ex lives in Massachusetts. It is difficult for me to get down there, between work and the damn gas prices. I really want to sell this condo, and maybe buy a small house where I can have her back, but the market really sux right now, as I'm sure you know.
