misterjones's Journal

Believe me, day 2 was very hard. It started off good in the morning. I got on here and wrote in my journal and responded to some posts. After that I went to do a few other things online and went to check the balance in my bank accounts. I have a seperate account from my wife in I that I put a small amount every week for spending money and the acount had somehow overdrawn three times. The freaking bank charged me 90 dollars in overdraft fees. I was pissed. I called them and tried to get the charges reversed, offering to go and deposit money to cover the amounts right then. They offered no help and after some more complaining they transferred me to a manager. All she could say was "I'm really sorry." What does her being sorry do for that 90 dollars they just charged me. I was so pissed off and of course the thought of going and getting a drink creeped into my head. Thank God I didn't have anything here or I probably would have. Instead I thought to myself, "What good will that do?" I am over a hundred dollars in the hole on one of my bank accounts, why would I put myself in any more debt by getting some alcohol. It would have made me feel better I guess in the very short term but would have just fucked everything up otherwise. I'm glad to say I never got that drink and after I picked the kids up from school I took them to the park. I cleaned the house, went to the gym again and even spent some time with my wife  It was a good day overall, after the initial hangup.
