I also want to offer congrats Craig. I was never into drink but smoked pack a day till 1998 when my wake up call was my wife getting lung cancer and passing on. I had semi tried to give it up several times before that. Do not even like the nasty odor from others now and feeling great these days. Stay with it buddy, your doing great !
 
Craig is a good friend of mine.
The rest of you need to go back to school and retake the class on reading comprehension.
HE SAID IT WAS NOT ABOUT HIM.

Pete and ******* - WTF?

Pete was just trying to be funny. I remember a time when we could laugh at ourselves and not end up offending someone. And I was simply asking the question as to the appropriateness of the post on this forum. It was my understanding that subjects about religion, politics and personal messages were not allowed on this forum. That's it, so put away the torches and pitch forks.

Hi 39topless; I've been a Ford Barn member since Shelly had this site and I make this annual post because I care and want to let people know there's help and hope available. Thanks, Craig.

Craig,
Thanks for the response. I am sorry if I offended you. That was not my intent. Looks like you are the kind of friend that we could all use.

Hi Phil; No, I wasn't offended at all and I think it was and is an appropriate question. This forum is supposed to be about the cars. I take a liberty once a year as a tradition. Thanks for your kind words, Craig.
 
Craig,

I've been speaking at meetings since 1991 and still involved. :rolleyes:

One Day at a time!

Hi Mark; Thanks for your service. Yes I got and stay sober as an active member of our fellowship. Service work and gratitude are a big part of the reason I've gotten this far and hope to stay on the path I'm on, Craig.
 
After 30 years sober, I'am gratfull for all the friends I've made and all the work I;ve done since. But I regret the 10 hears I lost and the problems I caused my family. I now consider all the flathead guys and gals as part of my family. I say this not to take a bow for my self, but to help anyother person to take the pledge. It ain't easy, but the rewards ore increadable..
 
Craig,
1st of all, I too would like to congratulate you on your victory over this addiction.I think we all have friends or relatives that have been there or are still battling some sort of problem..I also appreciate your mindset of not letting others words offend or upset you..
You certainly have gained a lot of respect from many of us .
Take care & continue on the path you are on..
 
On a visit to the USA in the late 80's the saddest sign I ever saw was on a beer joint in East Texas -
" We cash pay checks "
 
After reading all that's here, it looks like the best option is to trade a bad addiction for a good one. Congratulations guys!

That sign is common in beer joints close to the oil fields.
Oil field workers drink on credit till payday, then they cash their pay checks, and pay their bill.

Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!
