I received my Certificate of Achievement today for successfully completing #DryJuly 2023. My fundraising (and staying dry for 31 days and nights!) would not have been possible without the generosity and support of family and friends. Thank you. 🙏

I've updated my Dry July blog post from 2022 after a doubly successful 2023: I stayed dry for 31 days and raised a record $1100 for people affected by cancer. ✅✅

Jet, you're not helping me weigh myself to see how much weight I've lost during #DryJuly! ❤️ #dogs #MyDog #MyDogPosts #DogsOfMastodon

After a doubly successful #DryJuly (staying dry for 31 days and raising a PB in donations), cheers to August! 😁

This is one of my favourite days of the year, 1st of August! A big THANKS again to all who supported my #DryJuly fundraiser financially and morally. I stayed dry for 31 days and raised a record $1,100 for the Prince of Wales Hospital to help provide services and comfort for people affected by cancer. And to the person to whom I dedicated my Dry July this year, good luck, mate. My fingers and toes are crossed! 🤞

Someone has got to make a thing of “Rawgust.” It’s just sitting there.

Of course knowing all y’all, it’ll immediately become something NSFW. 🙄

I may decide to eat more salads and fresh fruit just because I need to do that. Not metaphors — actual veggies and fruit, at meals.

Just spent a month off the booze mostly in moral support for a friend doing #dryjuly - apart from emphasising what a miserable social life i lead -- i still had no-where to see humans but pubs and my only "friends" are bar-staff -- and not fixing the insomnia or anxiety, I lost over 3kg. Not that I needed to, just weight in at 74kg and 1.82m. Any more and my clothes wont fit properly!

I can't believe two things:

1) It's the 31st day of my #DryJuly!

2) Thanks to generous donations, I've raised a record $1,100 this year!

Woohoo, now that's worth a toast ... tomorrow! 🍻

Huge THANKS to family and friends who've donated to my #DryJuly fundraiser. As of this morning, I have raised $1,100.60, pipping last year's total and filling me with great pride and gratitude.

And despite starting 2 days early in June, I will honour my Dry July pledge and remain booze-free until at least August. 🙏

Feeling blessed and a little weepy after two generous donations this morning helped me achieve my #DryJuly fundraising goal of $1000. And one of them is a Twitter friend - proof that not everyone is a sh-t on that platform! 🙏

I've almost reached the finish line for my #DryJuly. But I still have 3 dry days (and nights!) to go and $125 to raise to reach my fundraising target of $1000. Will I make it on both counts? 😬

Ever wondered how funds raised by Dry Julyers like me are used to help people affected by cancer? As #DryJuly say on this page: "A shoulder to lean on. A comforting voice. A place to relax. This is why we Dry July." ❤️

Thanks to generous donations from family and friends, I've achieved 75% of my fundraising target. That's $750 for people affected by cancer. And I've still got 4 days of #DryJuly to go. That's plenty of time for more donations! 🙏

5 days and nights to go until August. And I do feel better for a month off the booze. But #DryJuly is not all about me and my health. It's a fundraiser for people affected by cancer. So please visit my profile page and help me reach this year's target of raising $1000 for the #PrinceOfWalesHospital. 🙏

With 1 week to go last year, I'd raised $654 for my #DryJuly fundraiser and increased my target to $750. I went on to raise $1093, so I set a $1000 target this year. I've raised $648 to date. Will history repeat itself? With your help, it will! 🙏

Woohoo, only 1 week to go of my #DryJuly. But I'm still $373 short of my target of raising $1000 for people affected by cancer. Can you help? 🙏

I celebrated 3 weeks of #DryJuly 1 day early and donated $30 to my fundraiser to claim my $500 raised badge tonight. I'm now halfway to my $1000 target. I may not achieve it this year, but I'll stay dry until August ... and keep pestering family and friends for donations! 😁

Felt like celebrating after running my first session of a Round Table Conversation for #WentworthForTheVoice at the local library about the #VoiceToParliament Referendum tonight. But I'm doing #DryJuly, so I had a Heaps Normal non-alcoholic beer when I got home! 🍺 #VoteYesAustralia

I bundled #dryjuly with CSIRO total well being fast start program. I am replacing two meals a day with a specially formulated shake. I honestly thought that I had a good diet, turns out I was eating way too much proteins, breads & cereals, oils and fats (nuts, avocado) and not enough vegetables and fruit. It’s been a revelation and I am on track to loose a belly.

Woohoo, 2 weeks dry. Now that's a good reason to celebrate with a cup of tea (or two) tonight! 🍵
