So today is my 47th birthday, and I'm going to celebrate and NOT drink alcohol. I'm on Day 27, and I think this might actually be the first birthday since I turned 21 that I haven't drunk alcohol. (That fact alone is kind of sad.)
I have to admit, the idea of a glass of wine with my dinner tonight sounds amazing, but I know I can't "just" drink a glass of wine with dinner. I'd have at least 3 and then end up stopping to buy a bottle on the way home. I'm not willing to mess things up at this point!
My husband took me out a couple nights ago to celebrate, and it was the first time I had EVER eaten in that particular restaurant without alcohol. I wanted a special drink, so I tried this drink called a Coconut Cooler. It was SO AMAZING! I've been missing out on amazing, non-alcoholic things for years without even realizing it!! It was so good, in fact, that I bought the ingredients and am going to try to re-create it here at home.
So tonight for my birthday, I'm going to celebrate by spending time with my children and ordering a nice, big, fat juicy steak!
It feels GREAT to be sober!!
