First sober birthday in 6 years.

Just had the big 27 yesterday, and it’s the first time I haven’t had a drink on my birthday in 6 years. 21-23 I’d only drink really on special occasions but 24-26 was when I did my “heavy lifting” so to speak. Had some people over for a house party. I let them BYOB it because I’ve been fine being around other people who are drinking, and the night was great for the most part. They still included me in their cheers, we laughed, had a good time. Though, there was a point that some part of me wished I could join them. I know alcohol is but a wicked poison and that having a drink doesn’t equate to having a better time, some part of me just wished I could’ve popped open a cold one or two and enjoyed it with my friends, especially on my birthday.

Oh well. Day 134 and more to come.
