Oh and over the weekend...
we took the money we saved not buying "our fix" for 10 days and built a deck onto the back of our house.

Yes..it is sad to think we were up to $100 a day habit together :(

Now whenever we get a craving. We sit on our new deck, sip a cup of tea, and think of how much we needed this change.

That's ironic butterfly. I've been sober 46 days and ran up the savings yesterday with my wife, a month and half of no wine, beer. Etc. Well over 1k in the pocket, we can go to a nice dinner now for 100. Or less.... Very nice benefit, among so many others...

Day 12 ....

I cannot believe the way I feel.
The best day yet in 4 years!

My husband and I are finding a new way to live...a new way to look at each other.
With the 3rd day of not wanting "the fix" .... WOW!

Bye bye withdrawls!
Bye bye money wasted!
Bye bye to the cravings!

Hello NEW LIFE! thank you SR and all the people that gave comments.
You guys need to pat yourselves on the back...those first few days....I never would have made it through without this site...and the support
Thank you...thank you ...thank you.
Period!
