Birthday Celebrations

Sobriety Birthdays are celebrated in most meetings on the first or last meeting in the month. The celebrant typically talks about their journey in sobriety – what it was like, what happened and what it is like now. A great way to see how the program works!

Please check out the ECO Newsletter to see who is celebrating their birthday this month!
