Giving Up Alcohol By Making A Plan
“Failing to Plan, is Planning to Fail” is an old saying that I once saw on a poster. At the time I thought it was a dumb expression and didn’t give it much thought.

Alcohol is expensive, and it’s not just the money you spend now… it’s also the money you lose by not preparing for your future.
