I'm celebrating a Birthday today. It's not my "belly button" birthday. That was 10 days ago. Today I'm celebrating a different kind of birthday. Fifteen Years Ago today I began my new life, a life I never could have imagined on that day, December 28, 2005. Desperate and hopeless, fifteen years ago today I finally gave up and decided to quit drinking. I've been sober 15 years. Wow. Happy sobriety
