I'm spending it on the things I should have been spending it on all along... but did without just to buy the damn wine! My bills are now getting paid on time! Fancy that! And I'm able to afford what I need for my dogs.... all this and no morning headache!

When I got into recovery, all that 'money' that I used to spend on booze and drugs started going towards ALL the people and credit cards I OWED. It helped me to make my 'financial amends'.

Would you believe. I'm spending it trying to pay down the credit card debt I ran up drinking and drugging.

And I'm saving a little bit to buy a kayak.

Diet soda, mostly.

I did finally buy myself an external hard drive, though, as well as some shirts and a pair of Chucks. My first "look at all the money I'm not spending on booze" gift to myself was a Nintendo DS. I'm trying to save more now, as well.

Nice one buddy, i gotta come have a workout with you. The money that I have saved I pretty much spend it on anything as long as it is not alcohol. Mostly music, food and xbox 360 games

Backpacking gear. And new absolutely, cannot-do-without, "accessories" for my white-water raft.
(Of course we need that, honey!)
