I don't even want to admit how much money I was spending on alcohol! The last 2 months since I have been in recovery I have SO MUCH MORE MONEY! It's the same thing when I quit smoking 6 years ago; since quitting that little game, drinking slowly eased up (as it does) on the importance scale and assumed the controls of the finances (and everything else, for that matter).
All I will admit to here is that quitting drinking has been my own financial stimulus plan - and it sure has helped!
