Well I wish you every success and such a worthwhile cause.
I will send you lots of support but I won't be doing it with you.
Without a regular G&T and a few glasses of wine , my life would be hard work.
However I will make a donation to my favourite charity, Smile Train, for every drink I have in October and consider it my penance for being weak willed.

DH and I are joining in the Sober October initiative but for our local Children's Hospice Rainbows rather than MacMillan. We haven't set up a Just Giving page as everyone seems to be inundated with requests to donate money so we are just going to send what we would have spent on alcohol in a month and then do it again in January.
However, I made need some support!!! When times get tricky I shall be on here hoping for some encouraging words if that's Ok with you. Its not going to be easy I look forward to my evening glass of wine (or 2). Thank you in advance xxx
