The cutting out/cutting down alcohol thread (part 7)

Marru

Sim - You know that your SOA is not sustainable, I feel that it is important that after DRO you will have a budget that is realistic and managable or you will be in this situation again. Perhaps something you can talk with CAB about. I know you want to get back to paid employment but perhaps sticking with the voluntary work for couple of months at least to get some confidence and also references.

Paolo - I started on DMP but it would have taken me over 20 years to pay my debt off so I had court date booked for BR. However my BF promised to bail me out as due to my occupation I have better earning potential if not BR. Now I am in a process of negotiating F&F with my creditors. 3 down, 3 to go. I would advice you to do your SOA, some very useful advice HERE. If it looks like the money available after essentials would be enough to clear the debt in reasonable amount of time then I would go for DMP and if you can save anything you might be able to do F&F offers later down the line.

Month completed on 30 please Miss P and thank you so much for scoring!! :T

Sparkles, day 3 please and thank you for scoring for July :j

I also want to say thanks to Miss P for scoring this month :T.
I didn't give you much work though did I? Not a good month for me

Welcome to Lou and good luck. Perhaps another GP in your practice would be a good idea as someone else said. Have you looked for counselling elsewhere? I found a free counselling service by searching the internet and I am about to start with them next week. I was 5 months on a waiting list though. There are folks on here doing great in AA and perhaps you might also consider that. I hope you find some help. This thread hopefully will help too.

TP I did look up surgical spirit for use with piercings and it is generally not recommended. Too harsh and can slow the process of healing. You must have pretty tough skin

Hope everyone else is ok tonight and looking forward to July.
The year is flying by fast again. Loving the light evenings and not looking forward to the dark ones again. I wake up just after 4 and it is light. Great to look at the clock and find I have another 3 hours before the alarm goes.
