The thing is - you don't NEED to spend that much on supplements/protein/creative/clothing and shoes....

just a basic multivitamin, more vegetables and solid calisthenics - perfect for your health.

I understand that you do not NEED those things to be healthier. But I listed all the things that I personally spend money on to better make my point.

My point being that a healthy lifestyle is not cheap, and that one shouldn't quit alcohol with the idea that you will save money or else you may be discouraged and go back to the drinking.

Make the move for your health not wealth.

It is affordable, you just swapped one addiction for another.

Seems like that's the only way to truly beat an addiction. Lol

Yep, this is called “transference” and is very common with alcoholics and other addictions. Many addicts switch from alcohol/drugs to health/exercise and, of course, take it to the extreme.

I mean if you want to stop alcohol, there are a lot of good reasons. And saving money (though a weak one imo) could be one of them.
