Findingtheway

So i'm making it day by day. Today makes 13 sober days.

Went to AA today...and heard this *When i have $20 in my pocket and 2 hours to myself and i'm alone i'm in trouble!*

This shook me...I've recently given away my access to money/debit/credit...Only taking 5 dollars for coffee etc...I look in my wallet...I have 20 dollars today.

I took a friend to coffee and i bought a sandwich and a lottery ticket...Less than $ 5 now.

I can't buy it if i don't have the $$ for it.

Stay vigilant everyone. AA opened my eyes again today.

Yes, that is true.
It took me more than 2 months until i trusted myself with money in my pocket.
In the beginning, on payday were scheduled all payments and if i had left, i borrowed them, made stocks of fav foods or just bought all kinds of crap.

Sometimes feel strange on payday, like i forgot to buy something i usually did.
Then i remember that when i was drinking that was the day i treated myself nice with facy beers and spended money on all open pubs in my way, drinking till my last cent was out of my wallet.
It's nice to feel maybe for the first time in life a responsible adult.
