Still sober
 

21 years today. This is NOT about me. I've taken an annual liberty for years to post my sobriety date, to remind and or inform that help is available. If you have or think you have an alcohol problem you can reach out through a local phone call or the internet. If you have an alcoholic in your life, they are sick with a disease. You can find help for yourself with a local phone call or the internet. I wish all a productive and uneventful day, Craig.

Addiction Is The Gift That Keeps On Taking.
In 1998 my ex-wife left the family to pursue
drinking full time.
Three daughters and one son from that marriage
lost their Childhood and had their Adult Lives
determined by their Addictive Mother who
started them drinking as early as 10 so she
would not have to drink alone.
Everything Was Lost To Addiction.

If you are an active addict - the Life
you take is not just your own.

Dear Craig ~ Thank you for your annual testimonial! You never know when your message hits home and recovery begins. Even though I’m now retired from the Drug Court, our success rate continues (with virtually the same staff) at 80% ~ during my 20 year tenure, we graduated over 500 individuals who met the five year sobriety standard, be it drugs or alcohol. So rewarding to encounter a graduate, a child or parent who has maintained their sobriety ~ and you are a living testimonial: God bless you, Sir!!

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.

So nice to hear of someone winning the battle against addiction. Unfortunately I have two grown children who struggle with it and it truly is a family disease.

Fantastic and congratulations.

I admire those that celebrate 1 or 100 years.

It somehow missed me but, I know the horrors. It consumed my dad, uncle and my two best friends.

My best to all that hold strong.
