This weekend I went shopping with my youngest daughter. We went out and bought some summer clothes and flip flops and things. It was so awesome to be able to SHOP! Just a few months back I would have gotten paid and went directly to buy whatever pills I had lined up for that Friday, and probably had to stop by some where to drop off $$ I had borrowed against my paycheck too. Within two hrs of getting paid, I used to be broke. I now actually have money to carry around in my purse!!! Lol. I had honestly forgotten the joy I feel when browsing for and actually being able to PURCHASE things for my kids or the family! Now dont get me wrong, I am not rich by any means (6 kids, plus my bf and I)- my man has a good paying union job (concrete finisher), but I only work part time and am mostly a stay-at-home-mom. But when I figure the hundreds and hundreds of $ I used to scrape up for pills – it is just so rewarding to see that money spent on things I can see and touch a week later……
Did any of you notice such a change in your financial circumstances when getting clean? (And yes, I consider those of us just on Sub clean). I know I’m not the only one!
