We celebrate birthdays because life matters. Your life matters. But you shouldn’t wait until your next birthday to take note of that fact. For some, the goal seems to be to simply string together enough birthdays to total a long life. The verse of the Old Testament resonates with us: “With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation” (Psalm 91:16).
But quality of life matters more than quantity of life. Live each day to its fullest. Practice daily self-care. Fight for your sobriety. Prioritize time with your family each day.
Recovery Step: If you were born on January 16, happy birthday! If you weren’t born on January 16, celebrate life anyway!
