I made myself think about the last $20 I had in my wallet and made myself think of how many days before payday I was, and how much better that would be for me to spend it on food.

The other thing is - if your friend is the guy thats causing you so much trouble, I think you need to explore all other options and find another way to get through the week, because being dependent on this abusive bozo leads you back to drinking as well..

It takes a lot of work and change, staying sober, but it's worth it, Sweetichick.

You're worth it.
