Just think of what you can do with $9,400. There are a lot of fun things, or you could put it in the bank, or just pay off your debts. When we are quitting, we don't usually consider the cost, but you could actually quit for that reason alone. Granted there are more important reasons to quit than cost, so let's just say that drinking is an expensive habit. Now multiply 9,400 by the number of years you plan to live from now on. Yikes! That could buy you an early retirement, or put your kid through med school.

Congrats.

We all here are lucky to know what is going on.

Waking up every day normal and sober is so great.

I am not a selfish person, except when it comes to my health. Sobriety being #1.

Thanks.

$9400 and potentially decades of life and healthy life at that.

I’ve probably not saved any money overall as I’ve spent more of sports gear, hobbies and having a proper life.

Huge well done, c0ntrols. Enjoy the $9400!

Congratulations on 15 months C0ntr0ls. $9,400 is a massive amount. Have you treated yourself to anything special with the money you are saving?

Wow! That's a lot money....

I notice when I am not drinking I always have money in the bank. I never need to worry about it. When I am drinking I hemorrhage money. It is just such a waste. Well done!

Thanks All!

The dollars saved is really added bonus to me because I quit drinking to quit drinking. And then think about [Or don't because I didn't] the additional money spent while drunk.

Okay, there is my glance in the rear-view mirror for now.
