How much have you saved?

[lizker]

In 46 days I have saved approximately $250 from direct alc purchase
and social activities related to alc. If I had gone to rehab, I would be
at $46,000 as of today.
Alc diet is also costly as the body dictates what it needs to fight
the hang over. I think I've also saved about $200 in the alkie
diet for a total of $450.

Wow, K9- that's about 600 bottles of that fancy nail polish you like:H:H:H

Lizker, thanks for starting this thread. I calculate that I have saved around one thousand dollars myself. 149 days at $7 per day (and that is conservative when you add in the cost of junk food, wasted gasoline, etc.). Now I am like k9- where did it go? Prolly in "social wear" for my 16 year old!! Better that than down me throat

You know if we all quit, we just might tank the economy --- this is serious $$$ over time (Unless we are good citizens and buy other stuff!!)

Somewhere in the region of ?600 - ?700 and that was money I could ill-afford to waste, I now have more clothes and make up and a load of scented candles and other frivolities which I do not regret a bit, I also actually have a pathetic amount of money in my savings account too.

On a personal level I am doing my bit towards repairing my relationship with OH - as madmans says, priceless.

Day 51 about $500 saved. 10+ years of alc has robbed me upwards of $700000 in direct alc purchase
and activities tied to alc and legal trouble . I could be owning my own home paid off. Not crying over spilt milk but these
realities really need to sink in, how much damage alc has done. I wanna look back in 5 years and put a finger on what I have GAINED by ditching alc. I set up a savings acct. Specifically for alc savings to keep me motivated to stay on track.

Approximately $300~ monthly (including the cigs I recently quit) + (hopefully!) 2 lungs, a liver and millions of brain cells...:thanks:

Wow, another great insight. And here I was feeling that pitching the booze in my house was a waste. Like my friend NoSugar said, if I drank it I'd still be wasting it, right?
