I'm willing to participate, though I've got a small concern.

One of the best things about the site is that we're all working toward a common goal. I worry that if we make it a challenge it'll seem like there's a winner and loser to it, and I'm of the opinion slipping up isn't losing, nor does it make you a loser. It's the banding together that helps us all, making it a contest could drive people apart.

There's a chance I've entirely misinterpreted "challenge" here. If it means "set a personal goal" kind of thing, that's something else entirely, and feel free to ignore what was written above. So, maybe I read this wrong. I just don't want to lose that team spirit, for lack of a better term.

I totally agree though I think the idea is for it to be a personal challenge.

Perhaps admin could clarify?

I'm in. I'm one week clean, and I set a date to be one month clean on the third of August. But this sounds cool as well, so, what the heck!

Heck yeah, I'm in.

Well, as far in as I can be. My last relapse was yesterday. After a week and a half, just one more fall flat on my face.

But I've picked up some steam from the experience--new resolve and all that. So I feel like I'm DOWN for this shiz. Let's DO IT.

I certainly hope it's much more than just July. But it's July so why not start here? Hope everyone makes it through.

So it's the 11th of July and I'm still clean... Aside from a slight incident with a forwarded email from a friend that started off innocent and then suddenly bombarded me with p images... I'm pleased to say I hit esc right away although I was in the library so was hardly gonna keep it on the screen! I don't think it counts as a relapse.

How's everyone else doing?

We're nearly halfway through so hang in there, it's all downhill from the 16th!
