If my life wasnt hangin on a thread enough, the woman renting me my room just informed me she is pregnant and wants her boyfriend to move in. She gave me until the end of the month to be out. I have no money saved and certainly cant save enough to move out in 3 weeks. I dont think I have any rights cause I have no lease. My s*** is too deep to ever fix and im way to tird to be dealing with this

I will never be able to work through this I dont have the energy. I have no car and no one to help me move my **** even if I did have $ to move.
I dont know how much a person has to drink to die, but Im thinking I should work on it :wtf2

WHATTTTTTTTTTT? Settle down as this too shall pass. Get your head straight.

I know it sounds like the world is coming to an end on your part, but you still don't have to give up. Drinking to drown out your sorrows is only going to delay your dealing with them. At some point, you are going to have to face them, and you will have more problems because you've been drinking.

I wish I could help. I wish I could make you see that you are worth so much more than you're giving yourself credit for.

Hugs and prayers!

There is nothing in life that a drink could not make worse.
You can do this!

Did you ever get to a meeting..re: the other thread a few days back?

You never know what type of support you will find in the rooms,

Change. That is what you need right now. Face to face support, as

well as what you get from us.

What the heck is drinking going to solve?

Ask you landlord for more time, and get something together...

I'm sorry this has happened Beth. I can only add to what others have said here - trying to drink your way out will do nothing but make the situation a 1000 times worse,

I agree with Sher - this woman owes you a reasonable amount of time to move...but, if money is tight, start checking into crisis accommodation, B. Also get those partying musos on hand for moving, and for keeping ears to the ground for places available to live.....

What did happen to that meeting? IMO this is the time to do that, believe me.

Its not the landlord I was reting a room from someone who is a complete nit wit, and doesntcare that winter is here and I have no place to go. Im completely shot and just dont care all that much

Doesn't matter who you are renting from - you always have rights as a tenant. 30 days notice minimum. Also, at the end of 30 days they can't just change the locks if you haven't found a place to live. People think if they don't get a rental agreement with a tenant then they are scott free. When in fact, it's more of a hassle to get someone out without a rental agreement. PM if you'd like on this situation because I'm a property manager. If she illegally evicts you then you can go to small claims and collect a nice chunk of change later for this. So breath, don't drink.

IO Storm

Boston is right! Tell em'...if you have to.

And if I was hard on you before...threats of drinking yourself to death

really scares me, Change..

I do care a lot, and take these things seriously.

Your signature says it all: the answer won't be found in using. This feels like the end of the world, but it isn't. You can get thru this, just don't drink - drinking will only make it worse.

Here in MI, once u establish residency, like mail sent there, they have to legally evict you..ie a 30 day written notice..at least that is what I heard. We had roommates before and never had anything written. Even with my stepkids living here we were told that when they reached 17, they had to be legally evicted..we couldnt just pack their stuff and say get out..even tho my stepson was robbing us blind...Dont drink! It wont change things! I think everyone has given great advice. U can do this!!

Beth, youve got to hang in there! Really, this too shall pass. Stay on SR and go too meetings too if you can. You ARE worth it and you WILL get through this. The answere is not going to be found at the bottom of a bottle- plus youve got to save your pennies for the new and Im sure better place you WILL find! hang in there

Mattcake

Beth Drinking isn't worth the trouble. Being -relatively ; )- clear headed to at least allow stuff to pass IS worth it.

I'm glad you reached out.. I agree with the other posters, if you're into AA why not go to a meeting? Or hang out here? Remember that we're all rooting for you.

IO Storm

What Matt said...

Rowan

Beth you have been given some solid leads here - what ACTION are you willing to take? What will it take for you to put some effort into your life? Because this IS your life we are talking about here. Drinking yourself to death is NOT the answer - it's long, and it's ugly. Have you ever seen anyone with wet brain?

I'm coming down hard on you because I care.

Get off your butt and start working on a solution.

Anna

Beth,

I'm sorry this is happening, but now is the time for you to take action.

You've gotten lots of good advice, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Done_With_It

My living arrangements recently changed, I always run to Craigslist best thing since sliced bread. You yourself said she was a nit wit, who wants to live with a nit wit!
There is something better out there for you, take action and figure out what that is!
Don't give up, you never do, and that's what makes you You! Keep going Beth!!

In many meetings....you can find all sorts of resources
on the bullitin board.
You can also share your problem with other members
so they can help. Guys with trucks are often
able to give moving people a hand.

... Not long ago....a woman got her whole household
moved in one afternoon by 9 men with pick ups.

Hope

Don't drink Beth.

I know the situation is a rotten one, but Imagine what will happen if you drink..... You will still have this same situation and you will have hangovers, guilt, and shame to boot...

Much easier to stay sober and deal with bad situations than to have to face these bad situations with a hangover.

Believe me, if you add alcohol to the equation, things will get even nastier.. so just don't drink.

And take the advice of the other people on this thread. Read through it, you have some great advice here.

sounds like a very difficult situation

maybe you can find a little place inside of you that wants to try to work this out

maybe your next place will be a better situation for you
