Financial implications of drinking
Financial implications of drinking
Hi,
Been a member on here for a while where I've posted about my 'success' of going a week or so without drink. I live in the UK, have a decent job that pays my rent, outgoings, and leaves enough for me to live comfortably. I'm currently in a relapse situation (again!!) and today pawned my playstation because I've spent my entire wage with two weeks til payday. Been doing ok recently, probably the best in ten years of days without drinking. I'm 36 and came out the pawn shop thinking "what am i doing". This is destroying me, every time I get in a good place, I ruin it. I'm thinking when I've got my cash, 'right get enough food til payday then see whats left'. Thought I'd hit rock bottom before, but no, I have now.

Alcoholism will take everything from you, including your life, unless you stop it. It's a relentless disease. You can stop now before things become worse. We're here to offer support.
I had a good week and thought if I spend all my cash, then I can't buy any drink. Worked well, bought some nice things for my house, then I've gone and done this. It wasn't planned, I didn't think about it when I woke, just had a mad hour and before you now it here I am. Yeah, I know what I should be doing, but I'm not doing it. It won't be a celebration of any kind, I'll be sat here home, alone. I know how I'll feel tomorrow but it didn't stop me. I'll keep reading but won't be posting til i feel worthy cos I don't want to drag anyone else down with me.
