Thanks for the advice and for thinking of ways Of making some cash. I think you are right about smoking. I had quit when I started gambling. I will leave it till six months although I know one very brave female CG who quit both at the same time. But I am a very addicted smoker. I think at three months if I am able to I will get a vape. When I quit I got so sensitive to people and my focus and concentration completely went. It lasted five months. I never got off the gum in that time. I have rung these people many times in previous relapses and when out of work between contracts, it has all gone much farther than that. Because of the gambling I never kept to any repayment plan and with step change in may they recognised next step is br. The thought of paying large sums of money every month when for the past year I have been out of work for 7 out of the 12 months (first time ever) was undoable. It would take all my earnings.
I cashed in a small pension last Xmas and used it to gamble.
I do not use eBay and never have, I am not that way inclined, my email is barred for some weird reason as I don’t think my account was set up properly when I tried to do it years ago. I,really,don’t have anything to sell, having lived quite minimalistically for years, just my iPad, and I’m not selling that. I don’t relate at all to sites like eBay and d t even know how to upload photos onto it, I don’t have any of the connections from phone to pc. Age showing here. There is no repayment plan, my housing association,worked out I cannot pay for anything, even electric. That is what this government leaves people in, destitution with the bedroom tax which is deducted from the amount they give you for rent. Wh ting left from benefit of 70 quid a week goes on. The bedroom tax and rent arrears to keep my home and even that is precarious as you will have seen on the news record nos of eviction because of the bedroom tax and the benefit is paid around 7 weeks in arrears. Get these ghastly tories out folks. The cg in me really wanted to destroy everything this last relapse and leave all doors closed. Crazy but true, so my recovery is set in defeating that insane mindset. It is helpful to talk about this, as without a good job, there simply isn’t a way out and I have to consider soon consciously moving to an Iva or br. I will make this decision beginning of November. Funnily enough the doorbell just went and I think it is debt collectors. At least it wipes the slate clean but it also wipes everything else out with it like job. I refuse to live in poverty though. Simply wont have that in my mindset as it took me many years of study and work to come out of poverty.
