I DID IT
I have officially completed my second annual Dry Feb in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. Midnight on Wednesday I suppose is when I would have been finished but that was also the conclusion of what seemed like a long month, so you will excuse me for not setting an alarm to crack the cork on my first beverage.

9, 585 people are going dry this year having raised $216,709 so far.
This year my desire to participate was even stronger;
tomorrow is my father’s last radiation treatment.
Dry Feb is a fundraising initiative from/for The Canadian Cancer Society. Being sober for a cause.
I decided to participate for personal reasons and since I believe it’s a worthy cause which made me feel compiled to do my part. So far I have raised $200 which is 40% of my goal. A huge thank-you to everyone who has donated, shared the link or offered encouragement, please let’s keep it up !

DryFeb Bottle Cap
I can’t think of anyone who’s heart has not been broken by the devil known as Cancer.

Also I personally have had my life, family and friendships affected by alcoholism.
It’s a horrible thing to watch someone you love fall deeper in the bottle without a way to drag to them out.
