Started to feel the "itch" tonight and realized I was just tired as I knew I had to work in a few hours and working nights combined with school and by binges has left my house not as clean and realized that was making me feel a little down....so....with the money I have saved the last few days not buying bottles and for sure on Football Sunday tomorrow, I called a cleaning service to come in and clean from top to bottom in the AM! The works and can spend my Sunday sober, studying and in my "new clean place" Feeling good *smile*

I agree with rewarding yourself and it's great to do something that makes your life easier

That's a great reward for yourself! Funny enough, I let my house go as well and have a cleaning service scheduled for Monday. It feels good to put that saved money to a positive use doesn't it?

Yes Sea, feels good and Zelda, awesome!! I am so excited!! I am even going to buy a new comforter set when I get off work so I am sleeping in new sheets as well...Ahhhh.....Now all that money would have been gone in a week....for what?!? I will be broke until payday, but will comfortable and sober!!!

Great idea mn8, enjoy a clean sunday in more ways than one!

There's something to be said for a clean set of high-quality sheets. I bought the cheapest when I was single, since married my wife fixed that right up. It actually helps my attitude to believe I'm worth goods of that quality. (Not sure that made sense, some of you will get it anyway)

You're so worth it!

Good for you & congrats on recognizing the underlying reason - and what would actually make you feel better.

Oh I get it 1000+ thread count is deserved....out with the Walmart BS so I can have enough for a bottle! I am sleeping like a queen tomorrow and will wake up feeling like a King!!

What a great reward for staying sober - a nice clean house and you didn't have to clean it!
