since i cleaned up 4 months ago work has actually been kind of slow. i am self employed so t comes and goes, but i am really only working part time right now. but even so, i find i have so much more disposable cash than i did before. bills are getting paid, im even taking care of some older debt and at the same time i am able to buy concert tickets and other novelties on a whim and not really worry about it. money stress overall has gone way down even though im actually making less than when i was drinking, it's pretty cool.
