I can relate. I have only been sober for 48 days now and am behind on my mortgage, truck payment, and all my utilities. To add fuel to the fire my water heater just went out.

It has been stressful to say the least. However, when I look at the situation I can see where drinking played it's part in my current financial predicament. I missed a few days of work here and a few days there due to calling in sick. I spent a lot of money on alcohol and if I had all that dough back and lost wages, man my head would be above water.

I do not know if drinking contributed to your current state of finances, but like folks here are saying, you are saving money by staying sober and choosing not to drink!

I for one and staying on the sober bus. I hope you will too. I can honestly say that in other ways(relations with my immediate family, work performance, sleep, health), it has truly gotten better. Wishing you well.
