In a world where socialising often revolves around alcohol, taking a break from drinking can seem challenging. However, after five and a half years of sobriety, I can confidently say that the decision to stop drinking for 30 days not only transformed my life but also saved me a staggering £20,000.
The Decision to Bee Sober: Just like many others, I used to enjoy a glass of wine or two after a long day. However, I realised that this habit was not only affecting my health but also taking a toll on my finances. Determined to make a positive change, I decided to challenge myself and go Sober for 30 days.
The Financial Impact: To truly understand the financial impact of my decision, I calculated how much money I would have spent on alcohol during those 30 days. I estimated that by setting aside £10 each day (equivalent to approximately two glasses of wine at a bar), I could see the tangible savings. Little did I know just how significant these savings would turn out to be.
Unexpected Savings: During my 30-day sobriety journey, I realised that my initial estimation was only scratching the surface. While I didn't drink every day, I discovered that on weekends, my alcohol consumption and subsequent spending would have been even higher than £10 per day. This realisation shocked me, and I couldn't help but wonder how much more money would be spending if I continued drinking.
The Power of Saving: When a fellow member of the "Bee Sober" group shared their motivation for quitting alcohol. Intrigued, I decided to check my own progress today and estimate how much money I had saved by not drinking. I was astonished to discover that I had saved a whopping £19,900 Yes, you read that right! This amount would have otherwise been spent on alcohol, which ultimately provided me with nothing of real value. The financial impact of my sobriety journey truly highlighted the hidden costs of alcohol and the incredible power of saving.
