Welp…I have 0$ to my name now.

I’ve been a functional alcoholic for 4 years now. I’ve been telling myself i need to change for the last 2 years. I miraculously saved money and bought a house in August of last year with my wife, swearing things were finally looking up for me. I was laid off in November and given a severance package. Within that time i spent 1,300$ on liquor in December, 900$ on liquor in January, and 700$ on liquor in February (just landed a better job.)

I spoke to my wife, she’s not mad, but agreed that I’ve got to do something different. How did y’all go about changing? What are small steps i can take. I keep repeating to myself that I’ll do better but i don’t know where to start.
