You cute thing you. Go to the bday party. Old timers LOVE newbies. They keep 'em fresh and help them keep their sobriety feeling stronger. So, you would be doing THEM a favor. "Ooh...you mean the world doesn't revolve around me???"
Part of the fellowship is giving back....and it's never too soon to start. Allowing people to help you is a way to help THEM!
Big hugs from your annoying (and always right) pal, Slippers
