Endor Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 G'day folks, it's almost July again, that time of year when I go alcohol free for a month to raise funds for Cancer Care units in hospitals. This is a pretty straight forward PVP, but not as easy as it looks The PVP challenge:No alcohol for the whole of July. Entry conditions:There's no official entry fee but I'd encourage a minimum $2 donation to the Dry July charity, I've registered here: https://au.dryjuly.com/profile/nfdryjuly you can even start your own page or we can make a team on mine Exceptions:Got a special occassion on in July? You can buy a golden ticket for $25 to get a pass to have alcohol for a day. Who's with me? 1 Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment

Endor Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 8 days in and I'm holding fast Golden ticket will be purchased for this Saturday as my oldest friend in the world is coming to visit me for one night and I only see him once or twice a year. Funnily enough I'm actually enjoying being booze free, lots of quality sleep and feeling strong for my lifting.

Blaidd Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 thanks I'm also doing Ocsober in case you're interested (which always sucks cos my birthday falls almost smack bam in the month, but it's so much fun) Quote Half Faerie (Sidhe) Scout | Black Belt Kitchen Ninja "A positive attitude will not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort" - Herm Albright You're welcome to skype me (audriwolf) too but let me know who you are My challenge Link to comment
Endor Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 There's a definite possibility I'll join you for that but I won't commit just yet in case something awesome comes up like a week on yacht in the Whitsundays which has been an October boys only thing before. I usually do October though and I am finding a lack of alcohol this month is helping with ze gainz Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment
cracked_belle Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 so I didn't participate in this. but one of my main goals for this new Challenge start July 28th is to cut back tremendously on drinking. anybody here wanna be Accountabilibuddies? or we can even create a group for it.

There is also a no soda PVP running which has been expanded to include no alcohol challenges as well. ------------------------------ Achievement unlocked I went the distance for Dry July, only drank on 2 planned days for special events. I actually haven't missed the booze day to day but there has been the odd few days here and there where I really fancied a glass of red or a cold beer on a warm day. I think I will keep up the no alcohol in general, it's helped with my training and motivation. Thanks for joining in with me @Blaidd you're such a legend of support and reliability, I really value having you as a friend 1 Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment
