Ha! I still don't remember what I rewarded myself with after my first #DryJuly in 2013, but last night I did the same as I did in 2024, and stuck with tea! 🍡
A big THANKS to all who supported my #DryJuly fundraiser, through donations and words of encouragement. πŸ™β€οΈ

Whoa! 1 sleep left until August. That's 1 day left for me to raise $202 to achieve my 2025 #DryJuly fundraising target of $1000 to help people affected by #cancer. It's enough to drive me to drink ... a non-al beer or a cup of herbal tea for 1 more night (and maybe more!). 🍡

Woohoo, only 2 more sleeps until the end of July. Thanks to a generous overnight donation from a friend on social media (proving not all social media is bad!), I've now raised $798 of my 2025 #DryJuly target of $1000 to help people affected by #cancer. πŸ™

Big thanks to Joan Goodchild for guest authoring this insightful blog post on the #SoberInCyber website!

Our poor lil blog had gotten dusty, and Joan is breathing some much-needed new life into it as we round out #DryJuly.

Much appreciation also goes out to the amazing community leaders who shared their thoughts on mental health in #cybersecurity for the article:

Josh Turley from #MentalHealthHackers, George Kamide from #MindOverCyber, and Peter Coroneos from #Cybermindz. πŸ’œ

Not much has changed in 3 years. With 3 days to go until the end of #DryJuly (but not another weekend, thankfully!), I'm stocked up with non-alcoholic ales and teas, and I've increased my fundraising target to $1000! I'm currently sitting on $698, but I'm crossing my fingers and staying dry! 🀞🚫🍺

I've noticed bottle shops and pubs are running out of my usual non-alcoholic beverages, #HeapsNormal and #Guinness 0.0 Stout, towards the end of #DryJuly. So I was pleased to find #YeahNah last night, and yeah, I'll buy it again! 🚫 🍺

Last night's Swannies/Giants derby was a game of two halves, and watching the Swannies' second half capitulation at the Tudor Hotel in Redfern drove me to hit the bottle ... of #DryJuly water! β˜ΉοΈπŸ”΄βšͺ️ #AFLSwansGiants #AFLGiantsSwans #SydneySwans #GoSwans

With only 1 week to go in July, I'll be following the advice I gave my younger brother, Al, when he asked me in 2020, "Any tips on how to push through this final week?" My response was: "Yep, don't have a drink!" πŸš«πŸΊπŸ˜‰
