Default Still sober

Hello all; Fourteen years today, one day at a time. And no, it's not about me. This is just a reminder it can be done a day at a time, and if you or someone you know needs help, it's a phone call away from your local directory. I wish you all an uneventful evening, Craig.

Your lack of compassion and display of ignorance is incredible. No, it doesn't belong here, maybe, but give a guy a break and tell him "Congratulations!". You wish other Barners a Happy Birthday and so on, don't you?

Congratulations, Craig. What you've accomplished may not seem like much, but as having had a relative in the same position, I can appreciate what a set it took to make it 14-years, one day at a time. Keep it going !!!

Way to go Craig, habits are very hard to get away from,
especially bad habits, so congrats on having the will power.

I'd guess St. Patty's day is a milestone date. Good for him and I wish him well.

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.

Congrats! ... And I'll drink to that!

Seriously, substance abuse is nothing to laugh about, and I do congratulate you on your continuing fight to stay clean.

Good for you Craig! Beating any type of addiction is a great thing to be proud of and to share with others. This probably gives you more time and maybe puts you in a better financial position to enjoy the hobby that much more..
