Been sober for 2 days. For 2 reasons one I’m broke and can’t afford it. And 2 I know I need to quit. Yes I could go pawn something to get the money to drink. I get paid tomorrow and I’m a little scared that I will go buy it. Trying to stay strong and level headed. It’s always great when I stop drinking. I stopped for a month back in February. I feel great, not hung over and more clear headed. But alcohol seems to mess with my brain and make me feel like I can just do it this one time and be a social drinker. I can quit for good. I know I can.

Yes, you can!
If you are worried about having money tomorrow, leave your wallet at home. If you usually stop off on the way home from work (or way to work!) Go a different route. You’ve learned a behaviour and your brain will have a million triggers.
If you’ve done a month before, you can go longer

Lucky you. Have a read around. You’re not alone with this mindset, that’s why it’s an addiction, not a hobby.
