Good day for me............

Today February 13th 1990, I got clean and sober. 19 YEARS AGO!! I can't believe it, seems like only yesterday I was 19 years old. Time sure does fly. Iknow there are some members on the board who are in recovery too and will understand <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/glasses.gif" alt="image">. Still other members that don't need any help and may understand, andthen there are those who may need to join the club that will NOT understand <img height="20" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/chevyhoney/beerdrinking.gif" width="45" alt="image">. lol<br><br>Pete Staab

<p><strong>Congrats Pete, i'll be entering my 18th year drug and alcohol free come this October..........</strong></p>

Congrats! I gave up smoking cigs, and other things cold turkey 14 years ago this month! Altho I occasionally have a glass of wine with dinner. Keep it up!

Smoke free,Jan.1,2009,i hope i can stay with it as long as you have.Way to go!

Thanks to all who responded, and to the other 70 that haven't, maybe it's my deodorant or maybe I should've mentioned that someone"backdoored" a toy car, that would've resulted in more replies.<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/tired.gif" alt="image">

Hey Pete,<br><br>Here's wishing you another 19 years of sobriety, man!<br><br>Good for you!<img src="http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/images/smilies/banana.gif" alt="image"><img src="http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/images/smilies/banana.gif" alt="image"><img src="http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/images/smilies/banana.gif" alt="image"><br>

I'm with Dave on this one...although it pains me to agree with him...<br><br>A BIG congrats to you Pete, not a small task if it's part of your lifestyle.<br>I quit on Tuesday and Thursday this week!!!

Good for you Pete <img src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif" alt="image"><br><br>~Joe<br>

Congrats Pete!<br>I'm glad I never got into the booze and smokes...

congrats to you,,,i quit smoking about that time but i have to tell ya i'm not clean and most days i'm not sober,,,, unless i'm at work

congrats!

Pete,<br><br>Good for you man, heres to your life! Tossed the ciggies 7 years ago and havent looked back. We lost a family member to substance abuse a few years ago, andlet me tell you this, Your Family benefits from your decision to become clean and sober in more ways than you'll ever know.<br><br>Doug

Great job!<br><br>I'll offer you my nearly nine years of drug free congratulations! Still smoking like a chimney though and enjoying an occassional tipple.<br><br>Keep comin' back!

Right on Pete! I used to partake also...<br>2 years ago I got so drunk on Pineapple Martinis that I have never touched another drop of booze or a smoke since! I have never felt better! <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image"><br>

<strong><font color="#999933">Congratulations Pete... I don't smoke and I rarely drink...but I am hooked on food... Unfortunately, it's not apples andoranges.. It's definitely hard to break a habit and stay on track. <br><br>maribell</font></strong>

I figure the world would be a better place if everyone partook in the weed!<br><p>Andy<img height="15" src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/pacman.gif" width="15" alt="image"><br></p>

Congratulations, Pete! Me, I'm a dry drunk - addictive personality, but was just lucky enough to never get hooked on any particular substance. Still,I've battled eating disorders most of my life and I know how tough it can be...<br><br>Hats off to you, sir!<br><br>Greg

Nothing but a bunch of quitters!! make me sick to my stomach, did your parents raise you all to be quitters??? <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif" alt="image"><br><br><br>I see nothing wrong with anything in moderation but when it becomes a "habit" or "problem" then glad you saw it and quit.<br><br><br>

<strong>Congrats, Pete, on your ongoing sobriety. WTG!<br>I hit rock bottom in 2002 &amp; almost lost <em><u>everything</u></em>. I never went back. It's been great.</strong>

Thanks to all that have posted it really does mean alot to me.<br><br>And to anyone that thinks this is quitting............It's not it is a new start.........<br><br>Pete

I've never ever smoked anything! I only take drugs prescribed by my doctor. However, I do love to have a drink everynow and then.<br>Congrats to you Pete and the others who have quit smoking, drinking and drugs.<br>Tim
