Nearly 12 months without any alcoholic drinks

Some years ago a member of my family had a run in with the bottle, got help and got themselves out . At the time, his rehab offered family members classes , almost group therapy on both what we could do to help, but also on what we couldnt do. And what we needed to do to survive ourselves. I have always been pretty ambivalent about alcohol, although I had a few nice red wines stashed for special occasions. But right then I just stopped drinking..Not just around them. totally. An act of support..😷

For a laugh the other day I created a spreadsheet....

I went to rehab in 2004. I was drinking in pubs, mostly pints of Guinness.

My daily intake was around 12 to 15 pints. But to err on side of caution I took an average of 60 pints a week.

Guinness in 2004 was £2.20 a pint. Recently I bought one for my son just under £6.00. So smooth that increase over the last 21 years, assume a constant intake of 60 pints a week (it kept going up hence my need to sort this out) but just for illustration.

I've saved over 21 years somewhere north of £250,000.

😂😂😂😂😂

amazing. i know how much willpower that would take.

Well done sir
