It’s been tough. I nearly failed to pay rent, and had to borrow money from a friend to afford it. My finances have been an absolute bloodbath for nearly a decade, and I’m finally gearing up to go sober and really confront how much debt I have. It’s going to be a tough year. But, on the whole, the week could have been worse! And, thankfully, a calm but enjoyable Sunday.
Sounds like you’re on a good start mate, mad how much money drinking takes even at home. I did the same with finances, used to live pay cheque to pay cheque and then the overdraft. Did an honest budget where I paid my bills first and used the snowball method to knock the debts on the head. It’s always doable, and you’ll be surprised how much money you actually have.
Sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch - I gave up drinking 25+ years ago and don’t regret it, my life would definitely be worse if I’d kept going.
