I've not had alcohol since 2001 and I don't remember when before that. I much prefer to face the world as it is. I couldn't imagine spending so much money for something like that when there are flowers to grow!
Yes I do save a lot of money. At one point in my drinking, I calculated I was spending over $400 a month on booze. That was when I would not have any alcohol in my house, and would go out every night for a cocktail instead. I thought I was so good not having alcohol in the house, but in fact was drinking more than I ever had.
I've had a lot of rules to keep my drinking down but, as I knew deep down somewhere, the only way for an alcoholic to keep the drinking down is to stop drinking. Maybe I'll look around for a closed meeting.
flowers!!! More flowers!!! Thanks for stopping by.
