booze is really expensive...
 

... especially when you buy a bottle on Monday, and pour the remains down the drain Tuesday morning vowing never to drink again, then buy a bottle Tuesday afternoon, and pour the remains down the drain Wednesday morning vowing never to drink again...then buy a bottle... you get the idea. Tonight instead of drinking maybe I should just burn a stack of money..same thing.

(hitting forehead) Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Look at it this way - at least you aren't drinking the whole bottle every night..it could be worse. Make the choice to stop and you'll realize a lot more benefit than just financial.

Been there, done that.

I've read posts on here from people saying they found hidden bottles full of booze in their house long after getting sober. Never happens to me. I almost always bought alcohol thinking I was quitting the next day. Always a 1 day supply.

I agree with Scottfromwi, at least you arent drinking the whole bottle and every day you wake up, you are committing to stop drinking. One of these days, you wont buy that next bottle.

You are learning something, Emmy - maybe a bit of an expensive lesson, but worth it. Better down the drain than in your system causing havoc. Proud of you! :)

good to see you again Emmy.
I think to stop for good we need to make changes and we need to find support.

Do you have any ideas on those fronts?

The amount of damage alcohol does to our bodies and the damage to our friends and family then one could say it's cheaper to pour the alcohol down the drain than drink it.

This post got me thinking, quitting should save me about $300 a month!

I did the same thing for years Emmy. Mostly I'd drink it all thinking it was the last time though which I am sure what made my drinking much worse in the time I was trying to quit (3 years before I came here). Have you tried getting some support or checked out any recovery methods to help you quit before? x
