Well last night was Tuesday and pay day. I am really proud of myself. I stuck to the budget and didn't spend any money other than food, gas(for my van) and lunch money for my son for school. I paid everything that was due before my next check and shocking as it was I still have money. LOL I did get scared when I realized what day it was yesterday, but I suppose that will lessen as I learn what I am doing. I know I can do this. I just need practice and not to be to hard on myself for never learning about money in the first place.
Since I shared my deepest fear with you all I want to keep sharing how I am doing.
Great accomplishment Susan. I really didnt know how to handle money till I got divorced. I still have to reign myself in sometimes. Your post help to keep myself thinking in the right direction. Thanks Susan!
When I first got sober and had a real job making real money I didn't know what to do with it. I still didn't pay my bills on time because I was so fearful of being broke. Then one day I realized I had acquired enough to pay my bills and have some left over. Even then I was afraid to spend it. As time went on I learned how to properly handle my money and was even able to buy myself a few things. Now I save so I can travel. Soon you will be putting a little away each week and before you know it your "fear of economic insecurity will disappear" just like the promises promise! :)

I am looking forward to this fear disappearing!! I am praying for my fears to be lifted from me. God lifted my desire to drink and smoke from me, so I know he will do the same for my fears. It will just take some work on my part
