At a couple of days before ten years' sobriety, around 19 years ago, I phoned Maureen excitedly, and told her. She said, 'Keep it low key,' and then changed the subject.
I don't celebrate it until the day. I share it once and once only in my home group, and let it go at that.
I don't arrange parties or get-togethers. If someone else wants to arrange something once I've got there, that's nice, but I don't take the lead.
I wait till I get there. We don't know the future. I'm in God's hands. I trust God will keep me sober until my next birthday. But I don't presume.
