A year. Marked the way they want it marked.
Ask first, and follow the answer exactly. The right celebration is often dinner with three people and no announcement.
What helps
- Ask what they want; do not assume a party
- Alcohol-free by default, without commentary
- Some people want the date unmarked — respect that

Questions
How do you celebrate a sobriety anniversary?
Ask them what they want. Many prefer a meal with a few people to anything public, and the day itself can be difficult.
Should the event be alcohol-free?
Yes, and without making it a topic. Stock the alternatives properly rather than announcing the policy.
More in remembrance & hard days
Eventrie is free to use and asks nothing of the people you share it with. Open Eventrie when you are ready.
