One of the most difficult challenges we face as recovering addicts is our inability to establish a stable and healthy financial life in recovery. Even addicts who have been sober for decades often have serious money management problems that plague them and keep them from enjoying life more fully. It seems to be a part of the addict's DNA; many of us just suck at implementing basic financial principles in our lives. It’s ironic because when we’re still drinking and using, we’re absolutely brilliant at scheming ways to pay for our booze and drugs. We’re natural hustlers when it comes to feeding our addictions no matter how much they cost. Where there’s a will there’s a way. If we need to feed the addiction monster, we’re going to find a way to feed it, even if it means not feeding ourselves or our families. We’re ingenious when it comes to financing our addictions.
But once we get sober, we look around us, often dazed by the financial devastation we have imposed on ourselves. How the hell did it get this bad? What happened to my life? I’m broke and there doesn’t seem to be any way out!
The good news is, there are ways to repair and rebuild your financial condition and you don’t have to be a money wizard to implement them in your life.
