Is it a “rebate” because it keeps you on the hook to return and buy more?

Day 380
You’ll have to forgive me if my math is wrong…I’m still adjusting to 380 days sober. Life has been quite pleasant since I let sobriety get the better of me. If you’re teetering on that initially, slippery slope right now, I highly recommend the 20/20 vision that comes from a sober mind’s eye – we’re all going to need it for this financial calamity.
