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.
All that Valentine’s Day mush can make some of us want to drink
For some romantics out there Valentine’s Day is a big deal. Those big Valentine’s plans can often include a nice meal, and if you are enjoying a nice romantic meal it’s easy enough to pair that with a nice glass of wine or imported beer.
By now maybe you know The Canadian Cancer Society has started an initiative called DryFeb, if not it can be found here online.
And so far 2,476 participants are staying sober for a cause. In exchange for getting through Super Bowl without a pint of beer and Valentine’s day without a nice glass of red wine we are soliciting our friends and family for donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, so far totalling $98,029.
We are at the completion of our third week of being sober for a cause.

So I am now one week in and offering my update. Continue reading
DryFeb Bottle Cap
I can’t think of anyone who’s heart has not been broken by the devil known as Cancer.
And I’m really not sure that anyone needs extra convincing that we need to make headway in our treatments so given the opportunity to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society, who would turn that down?
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.
