Money Management
Money Management has been one of the leading triggers to substance abuse. In recovery emotions, spirituality, and self-awareness are our major focus to encourage growth. One thing that surprises most people is that money management is another huge aspect of growth in sobriety. Why? Many addicts use up their entire life earnings to fund their addiction. As soon as they receive cash, they spend it on their addiction until they find their way into homelessness, poverty, and debt. Even those who don’t find themselves in financial ruin begin to associate spending money with the rush of getting high. This can turn money into a powerful trigger or lead to spending on other things becoming a replacement addiction. For these reasons, money management is just as important as the “Big Three” — people, places, and things to avoid — and it is critical to understand this fourth threat to sobriety.
Monarch Recovery Sober Living Houses in Ventura CA will help assist our clients to learn how to manage money the right way. Our services include:
-
Taking an inventory of assets and debts. Ask a friend or family member to help you make amends and pay down past debts while avoiding dwelling on negative feelings about the past.
-
Learning to separate needs and wants.
-
Creating a budget that covers needs, allows for repayment of debt, build savings, and leaves room for a few wants.
-
Storing money in a safe place — perhaps in a savings account at a bank across town with no debit card or ATM access.
-
Taking advantage of available resources. You can usually get access to free financial planning services from your bank. You may also need advice on negotiating with creditors to arrange feasible payback plans or legal advice on declaring bankruptcy — these services are often available for free to those with lower incomes.
-
Using the envelope method — instead of using an ATM card that can make money feel unlimited, withdraw cash for budgeted expenses and place it in an envelope. When the envelope is empty, you won’t be able to spend any more.
-
Setting up direct deposit for your paycheck instead of receiving a paper check to avoid the temptation of cashing it on the spot.
-
Maintaining close contact with your recovery sponsor in the first months after treatment, and ask them to check in on you on paydays.
-
Learning how to speak with friends and loved ones about your drug use triggers so they don’t inadvertently contribute to a relapse.
-
Setting and keeping saving goals — perhaps by setting up automatic transfers to a separate savings account.
