This past week alone I think I've dropped about £300 on booze, and that's mostly been drinking at home too. I'm late with rent (got the money just about but been too wasted to pay it), but I've been scraping by in terms of paying rent and bills since Christmas. I'm thinking back to the last time I quit, and even though I was in the same fairly low paid job that I'm in now, it quickly got to the stage where I wouldn't even realise it was pay day! Self-destruction aside, I'm generally quite restrained in my spending, so I always had money left over.
