Still sober

November 1969 for me. It took an overdose to get my attention and the Grace of God to still be here today. There are VICTORIES in life and I have used mine to encourage thousands. I ended up ministering in prisons as a Chaplain for over thirty years and still volunteer every week at the same prison I retired from 7 years ago.
Remember, your story is not about you.
Thanks for sharing... Chap

A little off topic but right at 51 years ago I laid down my cigarette addiction and quit a 3.5 to 4 pack a day habit, cold turkey. I still crave a cigarette every once in a while, but by the Grace of God, I have left them alone.

Lawson, same addiction that I gave up in 1980, and looking back, I'm so glad I did.

Thanks for your post. I didn’t drink till I was forty. I went from a couple of beers a day to ten in no time at all. I’m 71 and I haven’t had a drink in 18 months. I sure appreciate your journey.
 
Thank God I have never fallen under the spell of drink, smoking or drugs. I have respect for those that have and have been able to come out the other side.

Congratulations, I was able to quit in 1977 due to my wife making a bet that I couldn't quit for 6 months. I then realized that I had a serious drinking problem. I was determined to prove her wrong and with her help I was able to walk away from alcohol.

Like JM and Lawson, I quit smoking in 1980.At the price of cigarettes today You can easily justify buying a lot of old Ford parts or maybe a complete old Ford with the money you saved and still be healthy to work on these old V-8s.
