Hey everyone, I'm not usually one to post these kind of things, but this is something that is quite important to me. I've had a rough year or so, and what comes hand in hand with that and me? Drinking. Lots and lots of drinking. I've been taking it way to far though and I'm sick of feeling like crap physically and emotionally. One of my friends suggested that I do Dry July to help me clean up my act a bit so I have signed up. I would love your donations to help me feel like I can do this. All encouragement (even if it's only $1 or a kind word) would be appreciated.

The website is: http://www.dryjuly.com/ and to donate for my cause my name is Caitlin Rule

I know we don't usually give out information like full names, but I'm going to be doing lots and lots of work to try and get my name out there around Perth anyway, so it doesn't make much difference if it's on here.

Good luck Cait! You can do it, babe! *HUGS*
O
OhWow
Good luck!
This is a really awesome thing for you to do.

I mean really. . . It's so hard to get sincerity across in type. *shakes head
 
Good Luck, think all all the positive things that you'll get from not drinking, feeling better, better health, more money
 
Pffft.. why just a month?

And why should I be giving you my hard-earned money?

You're not giving ME your money! It's going to a public hospital! And thanks dude :)
*ignoring Sco's off color jokes*

Cait I am super proud of you. What you are doing will take tremendous dedication and effort. I know lots of people who are truly addicted to alcohol who would never be able to do this or who would even try. Not saying you are like them, but that you are a stong woman for even trying. I know you will succeed!

I can't offer money (as I could use some myself, lol) but to show my support, if you make the entire dry july I will wear the banner of your choice featuring any character or ship for the entire month of august. Even if it's the dreaded other not-nearly-as-awesome-as-bangel ship. The only condition is that you make the banner, cause I suck at them. Be gentle.

I'll take that as incentive! Sounds like I could have some fun here :)
Hey, Cait, good luck! I want to donate so bad, I actually donate money for animals often, but lately my credit card is not accepted online, don't know why. I tried ordering stuff online and it wouldn't let me. But I support you anyway, and I'll pass this through!
 
I'd seriously love to donate! And I also wish my dad would give this a try. lol

But my best friend lost my bank card when I let her borrow it to get gas. But once I get one again in the mail I'll drop what I can. 🙂
 
I think it's good to give things up every so often- perhaps while you're not drinking, you could think about what your triggers are and whether you drink to fill up the time when you're bored, or it's part of the way you and your friends socialise. It might be that you could find a new interest or mix with different people and have a more rewarding time.

I've given various things up at different times- three times in my life I've been vegetarian for particular girls, and when I was religious I used to fast every so often- but the important thing is that you have a reason which means something to you. I'm sure you'll do well- if nothing else you should find that you sleep better and make better decisions- and I wish that my finances allowed me to donate.
 
Goodluck Cait! I know quite a few people who did it last year with good results so Im sure you will do great. Just remember when you do get back on the piss that you'll be cadbury so dont overdo it! Im sure you're liver will be thanking you 😛 All the best!

Cheers Gem!
Best of luck. Acceptance is a big, good and important step. Hopefully it'll get you where you want to go.
