Hey that’s great!! Good job. I can’t imagine how rich we’d all be if we never spent a nickel on booze. Or DOC. Or both. Have a great sober weekend. Valentines dinner will be much cheaper

Hell yeah! Get ready to have a lot more money. Treat yourself and your daughter. This is from my other sober app. $42 a week at $6 bucks a day is actually being modest, but I think in reality is was more like $60-80 a week for me. But this is for a year and 8 months.

I estimated my average daily alcohol spending was about $25. So far in 19 days that equates to around $475. It’s crazy to think how fast your bank account increases!

You reminded me of an exercise we did in treatment. Adding up how much we’ve spent on our addiction over the years, including lost wages and lost property.
I was shocked to find I’d spent at least $40,000 over the years! 
Congratulations on getting to keep more of your paycheque! I love these threads on the savings side of sobriety. If our addiction had been a tax we would have been screaming.
I have saved $3340 even at only $3 per day. I posted recently about how I have been renovating and started investing. I also donate to charity monthly, donated to a political party this year and have a digital newspaper subscription to support the free Press. It’s nice being a member of a functioning democracy. I’d like to believe that if I actually screamed about a tax I would have little bit more of a voice now. My city councilor and MPP do both know me by name.
