Stores profits are down
 

Just wanted to share something my wife told me last night. She was at our local store where I used to buy my alcohol. The store clerk, which I got to know very well, asked how I was doing. I told my wife I will have to stop in and say hello. She said don't you go near that store.

Ahhh how things have changed. My alcohol dealer misses me and I am sure the stores profits have gone down. I decided to put the money I would spend on alcohol into a separate savings so one day my wife and I can go on a nice vacation. Embarrassingly enough the savings are piling up quickly.

fantastic.

Put it to good use & treat the pair of you.

Haha Fantastic!! :scoregood

yep, I think I alone put one of the beer outlets kids through college.:dee

Great way so see things. If I lined up the beer cans i drank while active, it would probably reach the moon. I don't even want to think about the money I spent.

I like your idea of the savings account. I'll try it! :tyou

great idea ghostman!!
I bought a $20 kettleball today - before it woulda been wine.
I see the people at my "store" (Wine Rack it's called) almost everyday as it's in the grocery store 3 min away. The first few months I got sober, I wouldn't even make eye contact with them!!! LOL
Now, I can check out safely with no worries of wandering over to see what's up. I often wonder if they are curious as to why I never go over anymore. :)

Because of my alcoholism my local shop refuses to sell to ppl who are seriously drunk its one thing for that shopkeeper to say something like that but ive actually witnessed it a few times

all because of my alcoholism

What a great idea to save the drinking money for a vacation. :) Have yourselves a blast. :)

Extra money here too I'm having fun with. I never treated myself well, but always had money for alcohol. Mike down at the highway store probably thinks I'm dead or got a DUI.
