A lot of things are "crossing the pond," lately.

Soccer.

Doctor Who.

Downton Abbey.

Saying, "Bully for you!"

Ok, that last one was just me.

Though it originally started as a fundraiser for a UK cancer charity, a little-known phenomenon has become a challenge among friends and collegues here in the States:  Sober October finds the participant abstaining from alcohol for the entire month of October. The success of the fundraiser overseas has brought about "Stoptober," now, quitting smoking at the same time one abstains from drinking.

I urge you to challenge yourself to one, the other, or BOTH Sober October and Stoptober.

Save money for the holidays!  Remember what you did over the weekend!  Lose weight; feel great! Finally get around to making a positive change in your life. If you need help getting started and staying on track, click here for some helpful tips and tricks!

You've decided to give it a shot?  Bully for you!
