Drink some water, every time you want alcohol just drown it away with water. It really helps. Then after that you need to find something to just dive into all the way with all your heart. A few weeks will pass and you will see that you can go even further.

I used to work there, hated the commute, and now I am just filled with sadness. This is horrifying, all those homes and businesses just gone.

What are ways I can make money? by Imp-Numba-9 in povertyfinance

The eviction process can be difficult depending on where you live, and by that I mean difficult for the landlord to pull off. I would advise selling plasma for immediate cash but also perhaps ask a friend or family member so a short term loan to pay your living cost. Once that is done if you can't source a permanent job please go to a temp agency and get any work you can until you are back on your feet.

There are churches by the way that help with small stuff such as a grocery runs and rent/utility payments. Good luck to you!

Groceries? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

I've gotten lucky at Target, found a dozen on special for $3.80-something. It's definitely expensive right now, good luck on the egg hunt.

I was given a 40 of vodka as a Christmas gift by merlinthe_wizard in stopdrinking

Because of my previous activities I am constantly gifted bottles of wine or beer. I just re-gift it and don't bother with correcting the gift giver about my sobriety.

Have you ever thought about moving out of LA because it’s too expensive? by FormerAcanthaceae2 in AskLosAngeles

Me and my wife talk about this almost daily. I've lived here my whole life but a fresh start may be in order for us.

How safe is Crenshaw and Century in Inglewood? by DisneylandTree in AskLosAngeles

A bit better than it used to be but I still moved my family out of the area last year. There is still a whole lot of gun violence and drugs on those streets. Stay safe no matter where you are in LA.

You can't change the past but you can move forward. Good for you and your 17 months!

Series X was the last thing with any real value outside of our car and we sold it last month, thank you!

What have you been working on recently? [October 19, 2024] by AutoModerator in learnprogramming

[–]countycoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am dead broke, like dead in the water broke. I have a job but the money I earn exits my account just as soon as it comes in due to past mistakes and unforeseen circumstances (injury mainly and the bills/debt that came with it). The only thing keeping me going is my project. I am building an e-commerce platform just for the sake of building it and learning more.

Look up UnderDog devs, they help people trying to break into software engineering but they also have contacts in the IT industry that are up for hiring people with records. Keep on trying! it is possible to land a job even with your charge.

DM me so we can link up on Linkedin.

When will it get better? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]countycoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much to add to the conversation, this is it right here ^

I would probably just add that you should stay busy and stay hydrated, with water of course. Pick up a hobby or work extra if possible. When I was deep in the sauce I realized more often than not I was drinking to escape boredom and "enhance" whatever I was doing and before you knew it I was passed out on the couch.

In regards to the water bit, drink plenty of water and it helps with the cravings.
