Feb Fast again

The Captain is once more doing Feb fast!


Let the bells peal out across the land

Anyway, while I am happy to not be drinking (possibly a lie) and look forward to a month without a sneaky beer (Most undoubtedly a lie) I am a little worried that I will end the month with out any donations.

Which brings us to you. Hi!

Why not "buy the Captain a drink"? Yes instead of buying me a real drink, which lets face it probably won't happen as

a) I am angry and not often the best company
b) I am not allowed in a lot of pubs due to the infamous gorilla suit with flippers incident of 2006
c) I am an anonymous construct character

Instead buy me a virtual drink in the way of donation!

If everyone who reads my blog or followed me on twitter "bought me a Sneaky beer" I will make a good return for these charities. It's not much for you but the might of the Captains army will make a sizable return. (Sorry for drafting you in the army but I am a Captain so it seemed appropriate.)

Go here   Come on $5 is enough. ( Or $10 if you are buying me a shmancey drink. ) When you donate tell me what drink it is. 

So if you have ever read my blog followed the inanity of the inside of my mind on twitter and thought I'd like to buy this chap a beer, ( or even a bear if you a) can't spell or b) like the idea of me sitting awkwardly with a Kodiak bear watching the news)  now is the time to donate that money to Feb Fast.  

go on...why not. It's here in case you missed the link earlier.

End of Feb fast

Well done team Sneaky Beer, raising $3114.50, placing tenth on the top fundraisers team and getting through Feb Fast.

Hooray for us

Hooray for our livers

Hooray for people who donated

Hooray for saying hooray

Hooray!

Drinking is fun

Lets face it. Drinking is fun

You can go out and spend money and drink. Fun!

You can sit in your back garden and have a drink. Fun!

You can drink while having a meal. Fun!
You can drink at appropriate times. Fun!

You can drink at inappropriate times. Fun!

and when you drink a little too much it becomes more fun. Woot

and its super fun for us because we are in control of it. Of course we do that
"Oh I shouldn't drink on a school night ' and the occasional "...never again" but the fun isn't ruling our lives. Is it? Is it?

I am not doing feb fast because I am worried that my sneaky beers are going to join hands and see me on the wrong side of alcoholism but I knwo too well that it's a very fine line between a sneaky beer to finding yourself highlighting your life by the times when you can drink, and those highlights becoming moments you rely on and lean on, to the point they stop becoming moments but a matter of everyday.

I am doing feb fast to support and highlight the cost drinking can have on our society and of course raise some awareness and money for those who have found themselves covering their lives with their drinking, and for their family and friends who are affected by it.

In a former life I was youth worker so I have seen the destructiveness of substance abuse, including our social substances.  This year Feb fast is helping a lot of youth initiatives, as it is too easy to see alcoholism as a symptom of later life or of hard times, when in many ways its not. The full list of charities is here

As I said before
If everyone who reads my blog or followed me on twitter "bought me a Sneaky beer" I will make a good return for these charities. It's not much for you but the might of the Captains army will make a sizable return. (Sorry for drafting you in the army but I am a Captain so it seemed appropriate.)

So if you have ever read my blog and thought I'd like to buy this chap a beer, ( or even a bear if you a) can't spell or b) like the idea of me sitting awkwardly with a Kodiak bear watching the news)  now is the time to donate that money to Feb Fast. 

All I am asking for is the price of a drink. Don't do that oh I should donate more but i can't debate in your head which leads to not donating, Just $5. Not much. One less drink for you but so much more for people who need to not have that drink

So why not donate? 

Last journal

Dear Diary

This will be my last journal entry.

I barely have the strength to lift pen to paper but i feel i must catalog the end of the expedition.

It was a brave choice to march into the unknown expanse of Feb fast but this, the last unexplored frontier called. Before this expedition we have done the don't drink on school nights, the not as easy as it looks not have a drink at the pub, even attempted the stay sober on new years eve The team of course had attempted the required short expedition to Nodrinkieweekend and while statistically unsuccessful we had shown some pluck in the face of adversity.

How wrong we were to think we were ready to leave the safe environs of our fermented grape haze and brave into the wilderness

The drums have started again with their incessant pound pound pound on their drums. If the thirst doesn't get me then I am sure they will. I miss the constant ringing in my head of the morning after, this on again off again drum is driving me crazy.

Oates has left. Said he was going out for a wok. Doesn't he know we can't stir fry without a cheeky beer or even a nice sauv blanc. I fear he has gone insane. I know I won't see him again. It was his round.

I have eaten my last wine gum. The rum balls are a distant memory. The end is near now. I have left my tip on the bar, next to the ripped up napkins and now I sleep

The sweet, sweet, sweet escape of sleep

And so it begins

Good luck to team Sneaky Beer as they head off into the great unknown wasteland that is Feb Fast

 Have you bought the Captain a drink for Febfast yet?

Feb Fasting

The Captain is doing Feb fast and trying to raise some shekels for some worthy community groups. This is the only time I will use my twitter and blog for fund-raising  this year. I may do it something again next year or I may not. Heck I may join the French foreign legions burlesque squad and move to Tunisia. Who knows? It's a funny old world

Anyway, while I am happy to not be drinking (possibly a lie) and look forward to a month without a sneaky beer (Most undoubtedly a lie) I am a little worried that I will end the month with out any donations.
