A new expensive purse!.. and other random stuff... Okay, I confess I shop to much.. Where's the spending sight? Lol..:-)

Site not sight... Lol lol... Learn the right context, Thirsty...Yes I'm talking to myself.. Totally normal says the crazy person.. Yep, that's me! Lol...

Well I talk to myself all the time ,,,, so that would make me crazy as well I guess

I also went for an expensive purse. Bought another one last weekend. Coach was having a sale.

I've treated myself to being present. I've also fallen back in love with horses. And for anyone who rides, especially hunt/ jump, you know that's where all my money goes;-) Gratefully.

In my early days I put alot of my 'home drinking' 1's in a bottle and after 5 months I had 1030. I put it in a savings plan and it is due to mature next month after 5 years.....I think I may be disappointed with the interest rate yet not disappointed about spending it :) It has been a good reminder of how much I saved (and that is just home drinking).

I love having the extra money you talk about....I am now a student at uni and work part-time instead of full-time and I could not even have contemplated any of this if I was still drinking :) :) :)

Have to say for me it was books...every month I'd wander down to the store and treat myself to a new bookshelf to fit them all in - ha! Spent a lot of money on coffee that first year too.

P

I have treated myself to a few things...heheheheh

I treated myself to a bottle of Gucci Guilty perfume and a purse (tan Cole Haan...luv it)

and I also buy more luxury food items at the store to cook on a regular basis.....like last night, i made miso soup with enoki mushrooms, green onion, seaweed, and silken tofu, scallop and chinese broccoli stir fry, and roasted mackeral fish with rice of course. For dessert, I made choco~espresso cookies.

I love to cook good stuff when I have time and ingredients these days are expensive! I like buying the good CHEESE!!!!

In addition to ingredients, perfume, and purses, I like to buy a magazine or good old book. I DON'T read from a kindle and like the regular books and yes, i have a bookshelf at home,,,,imagine that!

I gave up everything for one thing and that one thing gave me every thing.Beyond my wildest dreams.Every thing I have today is because of my recovery.By the grace of God.

Well honestly I don't where you lot get your dosh from... I was in debt when I stopped drinking and it took a while to pay it all off!

All my old books that I loved are sitting in boxes ,,locked out of site for so many years. I think all this talk of book shelves was a message for me ,,,,

I bought a yellow vacuum cleaner. After I got sober, I went into therapy and I wanted to clean out my house so I bought a cute yellow vacuum cleaner.

The house is cleaner. My frustration right now is that I say that I hate clutter but I still buy little knick knacks.

Oh well, they say progress versus perfection.

Thank you for this thread.
