Dry July is a charity that raises money to supprt adults with cancer. The idea is, I go the whole month of July without drinking alcohol and you donate money to the cause. Simple right! FOR YOU!! Those who know me will know what a monumental decision this is for me. But seriously, it's not all about me. As much as I might struggle without a beer/bourbon/schnapps, after 31 days it's back to normal. The same cant be said for people who struggle with cancer. It's easy to help, just click on www.dryjuly.com/profile/russellgibson and make a small donation/large donation, whatever, it all helps. Thanks heaps and remember, if you dont donate, you're not allowed to put shIt on me. So, wanna give me grief, click the link

I don’t think you are stupid. You just have a bad luck when thinking.

As a person who has drunk/drank? 3 cartons of beer, 1.4 litres of Bourbon and 1 longneck of beer (no schooners, havent been to the pub) in the last fortnight whilst on annual leave, I salute you Russ!!!!!!!!!!! All for the best cause too! ps. I'd join you in this worthy cause but I have a hereditary problem of sorts that prevents me.

Yeh it's not for everyone, but right now I need to give this a try. The plus side is that I can do a bit of good for someone else at the same time. Dont worry about getting off the grog, i'll do that. You just stump up a couple of bucks for charity and feel good that way (plus claim it on your tax maybe?)

Kudos to you Russ, will see what we can kick in for a very worthy cause.
Be interesting to hear how you're travelling through the month though, see when the cravings kick in...

That's an interesting point Steve. I wonder how much my moods will change with the cravings. Bowler might be the best placed to comment on that tho'

I told the guys at work I was doing "Dry July" and they all rolled around laughing. Later in the day I was offered a sly beer with the comment "who is going to know?" So to aviod it I had to go have a cup of tea by myself. This is going to be tough Russ.
