Hi Im Sharon and Im an alcohol.

When i was drinking, i wasnt working,
married with a little family. An at home
mom, wife. I shopped and alcohol was
bought like bread and milk. I bought
the biggest bottle of wine i could get
for the least amount of money along
with other liquor from time to time.

I wasnt into drug so im not familiar
with the price or cost of a bag, fix etc.

It was quantity over quality for me.
Beer was by the keg. Always had beer on tap at the house and I could get Miller kegs for $36.00
Sure there are better beers out there but I couldn't beat the price
Old Crow was $5.00/fifth. A mixer was a dollar for a 2 liter bottle.
I didn't go out anywhere and did all my drinking at home.
Realistically I probably didn't spend over $150.00/month.

I had made more money jobless and getting high 24/7 then I ever have with a real job.
With the drive of drug use motivating you. It is totally inconprehendable the money you can get with enough determination.
I added that on average I spent roughly around 75K in a year on drugs. Thats with NO JOB. Pitiful . But pretty pitiful and quite a huge price I have paid to get that money.
some things will never be the same again.
But I will tell you easy come easy go. I will squeeze the S#$@ out of a penny if I earned it square.
So a hard earned dollar has way more value than a million handed to me.

For a while, I easily spent over a grand a week on cocaine and crack cocaine. I'd get the powder to cook it into crack when crack was hard to find..
Some of the money was mine. Things I sold, my savings account, etc.
Most of it was helping my ex rip off his parents business in order to have the cash for crack.
How awful. If I had half that money back, I'd be sitting pretty right now. My own place, my truck fixed...

Well I bought the cheapest beer or bourbon I could find, I could not afford to drink good stuff the way I drank. There were several occasions where I had to make the decision between my beer or a gallon of milk, the beer won every time. I did all my drinking at home so I probably only spent $75 a week. When I drank at bars a $100 was nothing.

I spent from ten to thirty dollars a day on wine. Not to mention the time spent recovering the next day...

For me it was around 200-250$ per day which got me two bundles(20 bags) of heroin. (price varied depending on which dealer I was going to.) I didnt have a real job or anything but I was sellin coke and pot to kids at my school which got me plenty of money to support my habit.

Yo trish its so funny that you say that about squeezing the sh`1t outta a penny that you earn now. I just noticed myself the other day complaining and not wanting to spend 13$ on some facial soap and then I thought ot myself about the thousands of times I handed over 100's of $$ at a time to my dealer without hesistation at all, and now im b1tching and not wanting to spend 13$ on some soap lol.

About $20/day.

My DOC was hydrocodone which fortunatly is not expensive. I spent about $50-60 a week. Not expensive. But I'm not proud of my "savings" Treatment cost a whole lot more.

flutter

actually.. because i was hiding it so much, and therefore only buying the absolute cheapest stuff.. 8 bucks every 2 or so days, on a big cheap bottle of vodka.

The money was not an issue, my life was the issue.

I'm a recovering opiate addict. Other then the co-pay my insurance covered it all. I lost my job so my cost financially was loss of income from my employer. Of course the greater loss was family, friends, and self.

1000´s every month, it's almost like having a payment plan over 2 years for a brand new ferrari!

jamdls

I spent $75-$100 a week on wine at home alone, when I would go out with my drinking buddy usually every other week he'd spend around $150 on 1 night for the 2 of us. I was seriously in debt not only spending the $ on wine but I shopped online when I was drunk and made lots of pore decisions about $; I ended up having to sell my house because I was so far in debt. I remember about 2 months after getting sober telling my sister I couldn't understand why I had extra $ in the bank...because I wsn't spending it on booze...duh...

Yea..I know Scott...It is amazing how fast I would give hundreds to the dealers. Not even think twice about it. Now I get all bent over every dollar.

larssonc

I usually was good at finding cheap booze, you get a "nose" for that. The losses in other terms: spouse, jobs, crashed cars, robberies, and about eight lives are unmeasurable.

For drinking ~ 15y*12m*50$=9000$

Between $150-$400AUD / week. On average I guess $200. Mostly it was spent over Friday-Sunday. It went on alcohol, mdma powder/crystal ($300/g), pills ($25-$35) and speed (around $25 for 0.1g). Its a bit hard to be sure because often I would 'come to' on Sunday evening not being sure of what I had spent or what I had taken. Basically I was wasting money on wasted weekends being wasted.

Jane47

I spent about $10 everyday, mostly drank cheap beer at home.

electrickery

Wow that's like 10000/year.... for 2 years..... and then the 6 years before of lighter using.... the mind boggles
