Still sober

Hello all; It's sixteen years as of today, one day at a time. And it's NOT about me. I just need to inform and remind people, help and hope are a phone call away from your local directory or the internet. I've taken an annual liberty to post my sobriety date since Shelly had the Barn, except for last year because I got away from the internet, on the most part, for about a year. For anyone that needs help, you only have to admit it and reach out. After that it just keeps getting better. I wish you all a productive and uneventful day, Craig.
 
Me too, 31 years ago I took my last drink, actually quite a few. I thought I lost everything. 10 years stuck in a bottle of Jim Beam. With the help of the Lord and a good woman, I'm able to help others.
Take care.

What a great message!! It is difficult for most people to FIRST admit they have a problem and SECOND realize THEY are the problem. Another friend has been sober 8 years and it required 3 rehab treatment centers to convince him.

I wish you continued success and congratulate you.

Oh, one more thing----you forgot to mention you have the best, most rewarding and satisfying job in America!!

Best Regards,
JWL
 
Thanks for the message Craig. Fortunately, I've never had a problem with alcohol, but have friends who have, and know what they have gone through. Now, smoking was another story for me, and I managed to kick that habit around 1980 after smoking for about 30 years. Hopefully, overcoming these bad habits/addictions will give us a little extra time with family, friends, and old Fords.
 
Good on you man! I think it's great to remind yourself and others who are struggling with addiction that help is out there.

Gave up booze and cigarettes 30 years ago thanks to a lovely wife and family and Lord, now if I could do the same with some food to get the waist line in shape. Congrats to Craig.

Good for you Craig! I quit drinking in 1996 as I was tired of feeling like hell in the morning and people questioning my judgment. I still feel like hell in the morning
and people still question my judgment...I think it's just middle age. I have a nice
driver 1948 Ford business coupe in the garage. If I was still drinking I would've
spent just as much and not had the car.
 
Good on you Craig. I have one brother who is at 8 years and another who is just at 3 months . Fortunately I missed the gene but have firsthand experience of just how hard it can be, which gives me great respect for those who do it -Karl
