    That’s a big milestone. Tell him I said the second year is the hardest and see if he chuckles. It’s an inside joke.

    Congrats to you both, may your son realize fully how precious this achievement is. It gets better, keep at it jr.

    He decided a cheap enduro motorcycle would cover his transport needs, he hasn't had transport for a couple years, so we found a mid 80's Yamaha XT 200, making me want to get rid of the Harley an get something similar.

    Not to rain on a nice parade but there is a fairly tragic ending to this story,  sonny lost this job,  I misread his disappointment,  he took a fatal dose of heroin over the weekend and his pain is no more. We had a helluva run these last 14 months he was clean,  going to miss my wingman. RIP D

    Really sorry to hear this. My thoughts go out to you and your family.

    My son is 8 months clean and I often think about what would happen if something like this happened to him, if he doesn't stay clean, especially with the 2 granddaughters.
