What's the Big Deal?

As I approached the end of my first year of sobriety, I mentioned that fact to one of my daughters. She had lived with me during the four weeks of my outpatient treatment and had seen firsthand the beginning of my new life. I said I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and she said, "Why not?" I thought for a minute and then said, "What the hell, why not?" and organized an anniversary party.
