[News Report] A local man's mission to stay off drugs is getting some special attention. Drivers are honking in support as they pass his Vancouver home because he put out a sign that counts each day that he is sober. Amy Fraser met with him today to find out about what is an unusual display, but again, getting a lot of attention. It really is. About four months ago, 59-year-old Fred Morrow committed to changing his life. He's been off of drugs now for 128 days. Something he proudly updates each day on a sign right in front of his home. The sign, which simply says 128 days, is along Lisa Road, not far from SR 14. Some days he's counted as many as 300 honks of support from drivers. Someone even placed balloons on the sign when he reached the 90-day mark. Fred says others have stopped by to thank him for being an inspiration. People are also posting words of support on a community Facebook page, encouraging Fred to keep his mission going to stay off of drugs. [Interview] Yeah. It it it's actually made it very easy because there's so much pressure on me now to to to stay off that uh yeah, it helps. Yeah, it helps a lot as a matter of fact.
