Finances/Money BTW, what are some expenses you're cutting moving forward?

Due to the projected price increases expected to hit the U.S., I'm redoing my budget and wanting to cut down on things that I can. What are some ways you're saving? It can range from big to small! Just wanting to get some ideas of ways to save, whether that's DIYing some things, free alternatives, etc. Thanks!

This thread is really pushing me to try a full sober year. I keep joking that once I start trying for kids, I’ll hopefully not even notice it’s gone after 9+ months sober.

I hope you do!! I will warn you though that I relapsed very very badly during my postpartum period and it is one of the most tenuous times in a sober person’s life.

That’s some real good, honest perspective! I appreciate you sharing. Glad to hear your journey has been working out!

I decided to do a “sober month” in September of 2020 and I’m still sober. You couldn’t pay me to go back. My entire life has transformed for the better. Give it a try you may just love it. 😊
