You Get a Pay Raise!

Hi All,

Three weeks sober tomorrow ( I can say that because I'M NOT GOING TO DRINK TODAY) and I was sitting here have a cup of coffee and paying bills (arg) when I started doing some math.

On average I spent 18.00 per/day drinking ( a bottle of wine + a four pack to hide in the garage... sick!).

**(18 x 7) x 4 } x 12 = 6,048

This was just my weekly maintanence expense. Not to mention nights out with the wife and game day with the boys. Well over 10K in my calculation.

I guess my point is, on top of the health & spiritual aspects of getting sober we all get a raise. Good thing in this economy!

Blessing to all,

Yeah, that was a trip to finally see how crazy it was to have $275 booze monthly budget. It was alway's the first thing on my list coded: "Kim" Just my name! Like booze and me were the same thing.

I have no clue how much I spent over my long drinking career.

I was a blackout drunk who carried cash to bars.

My AA chair is the most expensive thing I've owned.
But.....it's value is priceless...

Well done on your early sober time...
Forward we go...side by side
