<\/p>\nDry July is an annual fundraising campaign that encourages people to give up alcohol for the entire month of July. Participants pledge to stay sober and raise funds for cancer support organizations. The campaign was founded in 2008 by three friends in Australia who wanted to make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Since then, Dry July has grown into a global movement, with participants from around the world taking part in the challenge.<\/p>\n

As alcohol levels rise in a person\u2019s system, the negative effects on the central nervous system increase. Alcohol is absorbed directly through the walls of the stomach and small intestine. Then it passes into the bloodstream where it accumulates until it is metabolized by the liver. A person’s alcohol level is measured by the weight of the alcohol in a certain volume of blood. At a BAC of .08 grams of alcohol per deciliter (g\/dL) of blood, crash risk increases exponentially. Because of this risk, it\u2019s illegal in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to drive with a BAC of .08 or higher, except in Utah where the BAC limit is .05.<\/p>\n
“If you have a slip, it makes a full relapse less likely,” Willenbring says. “It’s much easier not to take drinks two, three, four, or five because that initial rush is blunted; it doesn’t do anything for you.” Burning Tree Ranch is a specialty program dedicated to the treatment of chronic addiction and mental health. Our program is long-term, progress-based, and highly intensive. The fight continued Monday about jury instructions in Hunter Biden\u2019s federal trial over what it meant for him to deny using or being addicted to drugs when he bought a gun in October 2018. The collapse of the plea deal led to Biden\u2019s indictment on three felony gun charges in Delaware, in a trial that started Monday, and nine tax charges in California, in a trial set for Sept. 5.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s even harder if your loved ones don\u2019t support your sobriety. Acute anxiety and depression from the withdrawal process can ease within a few days to a week. But for many people, lingering feelings of anxiety, depression, and general malaise can last weeks, months, or even longer. These services may include transportation to and from treatment, accommodation for patients and their families, counseling and support groups, and much more. By participating in Dry July, individuals are helping to ensure that these vital services can continue to be provided to those who need them most. In 2022, Dry July raised $8.8 million and funded 95 projects across 49 organizations.<\/p>\n
