So I'm going away

All the problems have come home. 90 days in the joint followed by 6 months in treatment. Goodbye for a year. All newcomers, keep coming back. Any old ones, I love you all

The saddest part is that I'm sober. Oh well, I hope I learn something.

Ol Tex....

Hang in there Tex. It will suck that's for sure, but you'll get through it and come out stronger.

Be good to yourself. Maybe you can be an inspiration to someone in jail or in treatment with you.

Stay strong, Tex... Your words have been so profoundly positive to me in my recovery... It isn't all for nothing, believe me...

You're in my prayers... it all happens for a reason... your experience might just save a life.

I'm glad you're sober and cleaning up the wreckage of your past, Craig. I hope the time passes swiftly.

I have said to many of you, get sober or get me.

Here you go. I'm the guy who lost it all and is going to get it back. I will fight this and I will get it back. Sober doesn't mean out for the count. It doesn't mean lay down and die.

SR is the best!! Stay strong y'all. Ol Texy will be back someday. I check in on Monday, till then, I'm still around. Getting big as hell and ready. If we're truth telling

Y'know, part of me is sooo proud of this. I'm so glad to be going away. You don't have to be a knock down drunk to take care of this. You don't have to wait for jail or the courts. The program, the steps keep me sober, the end. You do not need to wait for treatment. Try it, it will help.

So, what the hell, so I go away for awhile. If anyone, anywhere was helped by me then it was all worth it.

Your cowboy,
Craig
