Sobriety - a good financial decision
This is day 58 without alcohol. Just logged onto my bank account and discovered I have a full month's salary saved up already without even trying a saving's plan. I guess I was pretty crazy while drinking, would go out and buy not only myself loads of booze but also my alcoholic friends. Then ofcourse I would get expensive take-away food to satisfy the enebriated stomach hunger. Sobriety is growing on me.

That's fantastic! Like a lot of alcoholics my debt is... really quite bad (!!) but I know for sure that many thousands of pounds of it I've just drunk - or, like you, I've spent on others' drinking (and just how uber-dumb is that?!?!?!). I doubt I'll be seeing much turnaround too quickly, but it's great to hear that the benefits of sobriety can be fiscal and not just all that "spiritual" stuff... LOL!

Hi December!
Boy, do I relate to that! Being a recovering opiate/cocaine addict, 150 days clean, I'm amazed at the difference with money. Before, I'd spend every penny to get high, and leave my family in a bind. It's so nice to have that extra $. And to open my cabinets and have plenty of groceries!

Please! Please! Let's have none of trucker's terrible racism - allow me to assure you that lending to Yorkshire folk is perfectly safe. Tell you what, don't lend anything to either of them. Instead, lend me £15, I'll lend a fiver to allport and a fiver to trucker, and we'll see what you get back. Did I mention I'm from Yorkshire?
