Coming up on 7 months sober on the 22nd….My first birthday sober since I was 18 is coming up on Xmas Eve. Not going to be an easy task but I’m up for the challenge!
You got this Matt 
Happy Happy Birthday, Happy Holidays, and Congratulations on your sobriety! 
I'm in agreement that this is the 1ST OF MANY BIRTHDAYS SOBER. IM IN AGREEMENT THAT YOUR DRINKING AND USING CAREER HAS BEEN RUINED AND RECOVERY IS REAL PERSONAL TO YOU SO YOU LEARN HOW TO PROTECT IT. LEARN HOW TO CELEBRATE SMALL VICTORIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BATTLE.. THE DREAM.. THE STRUGGLE... AND THE PRIZE. YOU CAN DO THIS
I’m nervous for my first holiday season without drinking, I can’t imagine dealing with 2 important events that normally involving drinking. You’ve got my respect if that means anything.
You’ve got this! Happy early birthday!
I also was sober on my birthday!! Kind of forgot this till I read your post. First time that I can remember being sober on my BD maybe 30 some years.!!
I just hit my one year of sobriety. The feeling of not needing alcohol is one of the best feeling ever. Way better than the buzz or being drunk. Stay stay strong Matt.
Happy birthday
I bet you will enjoy this birthday the most because you'll be sober and have a clear head my man. Congratulations and Happy Birthday 

I made it! Thank you all 
Congrats on staying sober for your birthday!! What an accomplishment
Congrats Matt! 
Way to stay strong! Congrats on 7 months!
