The moment I've been dreading

Hi guys

I joined ATS back in 2005

I made myself a promise back then ......................... 7 is my favourite number

I avoided posting for years

The promise ? If I reach 7000 stars I'll give up the heavy drinking.

Everything has coincided to this weekend, including a flight for Mrs C and I to meet with a fellow ATS'er and his family.

At the time of posting I have 6999 stars.

I promised myself one last blow out and then time to keep a promise, tomorrow night will be my final personal party.

I invite you all

A promise kept is the worth of a man .................. See you Tuesday ...............

And thank you all for your patience

Cody

Bummer.Does this include light drinking,like light beers or something? Seriously,More power to you and the courage to uphold your convictions. Chard

Yea, I drink beer everyday, lots of it. Double on the weekends.
I decided yesterday to take a break for a while and at least get it under control.
Im sick of the shaking, cold sweats and hot flashes that dont ease up till around the 4th pint of beer.
Yesterday sucked a little but todays not as bad.
My biggest enemy in the past has been my over-confidence after a couple of weeks I always think I can handle it this time and then always end up back where I am today

gl cody

Way to go Cody! Much respect!

you will end up with a project x party on your hands lol

yer a fader cody party till you drop then get back up and do it all again joking m8 .

good on you i rarely drink now because i am a night mare i have been told 100 miles a hour life and saul of the party but without a drink i am a very quiet hermit .

stuff it i am off to the shop to get a carry out cheers bud fader

Well done Cody. I don't drink much these days, Just cant be bothered with it. But when i am in the mood, I could drink a battleship dry. I once spent 98 percent of my money on women and booze. The other 2 percent i wasted

Get it gurl!

Condragulations!

Congrats!

Don't dread that which can only help make you a better person...

Nothing wrong with light drinking.

Good luck geeza

I fight the fight all the time

Some times i'm winning

At the moment i'm loosing ......quite badly

The best i have managed is 18 months without a drop, felt great

I find the best way to approach it is just think that's it i don't drink any more

And it seems as if this is your mind set

So once again best of luck.

...I'll give up the heavy drinking.

Have you defined where the line is between heavy drinking and moderate drinking? I've been told (for alcoholics anyway) that there's no such thing as just one drink. One drink always leads to another, and another... So, for you, is there such a thing as moderate drinking?

My invisible hat goes off to you Cody and i bow down to you in admiration

You have all my support, as you already know.

Friendship to you and Mrs C and warmest respects

It's gonna be worth it. If you ever need a buddy U2U me. This is really gonna be a bitch, but you're loved and have support. You've got family and friends and ATS. Kick that addictions ass, we're all rooting for you!

I've broken bread, have made the promise.
I thank you all for your support.
It's going to be tough but this avatar will ride through hell.

See you on the other side.

The orange juice is on me.
