How Much Is Recovery Saving You?

Alcohol
1
In real cash value, consider how much you spent DIRECTLY supporting your addiction. Bottles of booze, bar tab, alcohol related expenses PLUS supporting stuff, i.e., stuff I indulged in AFTER I was drinking (smokes, dope, sex, whatever), and any other directly-attributable cost. Do NOT include the costs of consequences like a DUI or vehicle crashes, medical expenses. Just direct costs for The BUZZ...?

Well, THAT didn't work, now did it?

Zak,

You said it all my life. How do you place a dollar amount on a persons life, lives?

To answer SKG'S question I'm guessing around $60.00 - $100.00. Except for when I was a bartender, cocktail waitress it was free.

There were times I played video poker lost control of judgment and how much I was losing, or winning.

Step one Alcohol no Me made my life unmanageable. I don't know for sure how much money I lost drunk gambling during that period. I don't want to think about it. It's significant. Does this belong in another step.

I think I want to go play on the other thread now, before theres a kaboom.
