Insane how our priorities get so twisted around, isn't it?
For about 2 years I spent more money keeping beer on hand than on my house payment. I once lived in my house for 9 days with no electricity or heat (in the middle of winter) because even though I had the money in my pocket to pay the bill, doing so would mean over a week with no beer money. I can't count the number of times I went 5, 6, 7 days without food for the same reason.
Funny how much less stressful my financial situation is ever since I stopped spending $1,300 a month on beer.
The part that proves I'm insane, I think, is that without God and AA, I would make the choice to return to that life.
