I think you should come and visit Canada. We love tourists here.

I figured I was spending $40.00 a week just for wine at home....it sure does add up to saving a lot....like the price of monthly Gas/Electric or the Cable/Internet bill every month.

if you have the ability to take your booze $$ and throw it in a separate place (where it won't get spent)....there are great deals for travel everywhere these days....Travelzoodotcom is one of my favorite places to look.

Oh it's incredible the money i'm saving. In my drug addiction towards the end i was spending 100% of my cash to support my habit. Now i get to buy new clothes, eat out occasionally, buy a book. I went out of town for the weekend and went to a concert, ate out, stayed in a decent hotel. What fun it was! Before, i had neither the money or the inclination to leave my town, as i couldn't be more than a few minutes away from my dealer at all times. What a difference.

I don't even want to admit how much money I was spending on alcohol! The last 2 months since I have been in recovery I have SO MUCH MORE MONEY! It's the same thing when I quit smoking 6 years ago; since quitting that little game, drinking slowly eased up (as it does) on the importance scale and assumed the controls of the finances (and everything else, for that matter).

All I will admit to here is that quitting drinking has been my own financial stimulus plan - and it sure has helped!

With all of my money saved, I plan to treat myself to dinner at a fancy restaurant once a month (assuming I can keep this up).
