I am 39 and make good money. I live like a student thanks to my drinking in that I have loads of debt and old, worn furniture in the house. I have opened a high interest saving account and my plan is to put my money that would usually be spent on drinking in to this account. I have cut up my credit cards and have increased my payments. I have also taken extra shifts at work. If I drink again I will blow this. My dire, messy and unnecessarily disorganised money management is purely because of my drinking. All the best. Xx
