We've spent HOW MUCH on alcohol!!!???
OK, so after a couple of false starts I'm on day 4 and feeling pretty good. The cravings are strong, but so far managing pretty well.
My husband is also a heavy drinker, I don't know if he's an alcoholic or not...only he knows what goes on inside his head and how much of his time is consumed of thoughts of drinking etc. But he drinks too much. He admits this. We've been trying to cut back/moderate etc together for aaaaaggggggeeeeessss, but my decision for sobriety has been made alone.
Anyway....I've just added up roughly what we've spent on alcohol in the last 12 months..... $5562.36 (AUD)......NOT INCLUDING ANYTHING PAID FOR IN CASH. So, it could be upwards of $6-7K. (For those in the US it's $5562.36 = $4100 USD).
This may give him the kick up the butt he needs. We cannot keep living this way. We cannot afford this. Not to mention what it's doing to our health.
