I went to the bank today and opened a savings account. I decided that I would reward myself by transferring $5 from checking to savings each day as a reward for not drinking. I figure I spent at least that much nightly on booze, so it shouldn't change my budget any. Now I can look forward to saving that money for something special for me. Hoping the extra motivation will help keep me strong!
