So much better. I remember at one point in my early twenties, I would pay my rent, phone bill and then everything else went on alcohol. I didn't leave any money for food, it was ridiculous. My brother used to bring back large bags of ration packs from the army for me to take on camping trips and because I was spending all my money on alcohol I used to live off of those. It was more expensive for me as I hated being at home in the shared house I lived in so all my drinking was done in pubs and bars. If I was given £1000 I would spend all of it in a few weeks, on alcohol as quickly as I could. I would buy everyone drinks and stay out until 4am most nights. Now the thought of spending money on a single pint makes me feel uncomfortable. All that money wasted on getting wasted. A horrible thought when I think of all the amazing things I could have done for myself and others but you can't change the past can you!
