finacial ruin

[bama88]

Am i the only one who's ruined themselves financially?  how long does it take to recover your finances? i can't seem to make any headway on this subject....yesterday my new car was repoed because i was three months behind...so embarrassing. I've been trying to pick up payments but.....they came and got my car...i will have the money next wed. if they give me that long....i feel like something new bad keeps happening everyday...ugh. i have really made a mess of my life over oxies and roxies...i make too much money to be in this shape but....i was spending too much on the streets besides my own scripts....i can't seem to dig out of this hole!! Im still in h.e.l.l. everyday....now i feel like im being constantly reminded of my addiction because the bills bills bills.....it seems like no hope!!

Has anyone else lost things? I've pawned jewelry lost my car....and can't take anymore negative repercussions....i knew this was going to be hard. but didn't know how hard.  my parents won't help...never did or will...and my husbands family are broke.....i feel like i javelin nothing to look for forward to except more problems...

I can see why people relapse so easy...when life just keeps throwing you tomatoes and beating you down...its very hard not to give up....i keep telling myself there's worst things that could have happened but dang it....im getting wore out.


I've worked so hard for my stuff and now its getting worst....before when i was high i didn't care. im beginning not to care again....


I've kept it as honest as i can be with all of you. i am posting my story not for pity but for another person to see how bad addiction can get. i want knee person to read my story and realize where this thing will lead your life.  pills are not worth this. look at what a mess i made. ill never get out!!  days like yesterday are hard to stay clean
what more has to happen to me?   i need someone's advise who's done this to themselves to give me a smiggin of hope. because i am running out.

I have spent over 75,000 in 6 years. Maxed out 8 different credit cards for over 40k in debt. Took out a 10k loan from college that I used all on drugs. Pawned and sold everything that I had. Stole from many people and have used all the money I earned working on drugs. I am now stuck in a situation trying to pay it all back. Although I am not using its hard to be in this spot. I have 425$ minimums on some of my credit cards. My credit score is **** now and I am still buying back items from the pawn shop. I was spending 300-400$ a day on heroin. This total does not even include the 30k i spent on rehab. Or the thousands I spent on suboxone doctor and scripts. Im well over 100k total and im only 25! Scary to think about. Glad I got out before I was completely fooked. Dont think It could get much worse for me. Ur not alone! Well be paying back until we die. Miss u bama hope ur doing ok. Gimme a call soon. <3 A2L

Hi Bama. Yes, I too  have a mess to deal with financially. No, you're not alone, as you can see from the many posts above. I feel for you. What I tell myself is that using won't make it go away. Using will make it worse. I try not to look too far down the road. I know I can't get out of debt any time soon. Now that I'm not spending all my money on pills, I've been sending small amounts to my creditors. In some cases, not even enough to cover the interest. But that's all I can do right now. I'm doing the best that I can. For me, the answer is to accept it, and take whatever steps I can to pay my debts. The rest is up to God. We're here to support you. Keep posting.

Yes its all material but still try to put in some arrangements .
It will all be fine. Bill by Bill. Day by day.
