I vaguely recall this happening as a joke in some form of media but all I’m getting are statistics about currency being contaminated with cocaine when searching for it online.

Edit: My dad wants to buy scuba equipment but doesn’t know where to buy it or what size he is for a lot of it so I was going to write “For scuba equipment not for drugs” on one of the bills as a joke for his Christmas present.

    Not sure where it’s from but I’ve received a bill like that from someone I really cared about a long time ago when I had a bit of a serious drinking problem. I was also homeless at the time.

    The $20 bill said, “Not for alcohol,” on it. And the look in their eyes pleaded, “please.”

    When I was at the liquor store that evening and I went to pay I didn’t have enough unless I spent that $20. I picked something different and used that money for food that night.

    I’d like to say that was the first step in me getting sober but it was a few years later when I finally quit drinking.

    6 years sober now.

    I really wish I could remember their face.
