I like the idea ISPY had, like setting up a reward with a specific amount..... You could put half of what you normally spent on alcohol in a jar to save, and half in another jar to spend..... That way you'd still be ahead, but would be able to look forward to shopping, too. (I'm so good at giving advice, haha - wish I could follow it sometimes!)

Anyhoo - Just remember that the act of buying stuff is a temporary fix, just like that drink. The addict/ego in us always want more, more, more. It's never satisfied. So I'd just be aware......

Congratulations on day 13!!! So glad to hear you're feeling good!!
