When I would read those online articles about "easy financial tips" or something like that l, and read about how "the daily $3.00 latte really adds up," I realized that I was spending two to four times that daily on beer and wine and was throwing away a substantial amount of money. Now that I have an app that keeps a daily count of how much I've saved in sobriety, I have one more reminder of how drinking is not something I should ever even consider returning to.
Look at it as motivation not to drink and again, watch the money you save from not drinking add up, and let the guilt go- knowing you're making positive steps in your life now.
