Samantha Bourgoin is adamant: she has no intention of giving up alcohol for Dry July. She is however, fully committed to feeling guilty about every drink she consumes for the month.
“I personally can’t do it. I will be drinking throughout July, but I promise you. I won’t feel good about it.”
Dry July participants raise funds to go to people affected by cancer. Samantha has posted a rousing Instagram post about her commitment to the campaign, encouraging people to donate.
“It’s a great cause, everyone, so make sure you dig deep. I’ll be doing my bit too. It will be the hardest thing I have ever had to do. But it is my pledge that I won’t fully enjoy any gin and tonics, red wine, prosecco, negroni or tequila slammers for the whole month. The alcohol will be in my mouth, but I can assure you, it will taste bitter.”
Since the campaign started, Samantha has posted a series of selfies of her holding drinks and looking guilty. Today’s photo had her holding a frozen margarita with the caption, “7 days in. I’m not going to lie, it’s been tough. But all worth it to help raise some important funds!”
While Samantha is not willing to admit that she may have a problem with alcohol, she has not ruled out giving up alcohol in the future.
“Maybe I’ll do FebFast – February is a few days shorter than July.”
