Moving due to alcohol abuse

My psychiatric care provider has cracked down on me abusing alcohol. They are requiring me to go to three NA meetings a week and get counseling with their Peer Recovery Support Specialist. They want me to move out of my apartment building because it isn’t a good place to live because of all the drinking and illicit drugs that goes on here.

I just got a $3,000.00 loan from my credit union to move with. The payments are $148.55 a month. I’ll probably move out in December when my lease is up.

If you explain to your leasing office what the problem is they will probably let you out of the lease early. Are you happy about this change and the support you’ll be getting?

Yes, I’m definitely happy that I am getting out of this hellhole. The meetings and counseling are fine with me. I’m supposed to attend a college class this fall to help me socialize more and give me something to do.

There are apps out there where you can rent a mover or two for the day.

Its called ‘dolly’

When I moved they (the big moving company) wanted like $1,200 to bring a 1 br apartment 80 miles down the road.

I ended up finding a guy with a truck and he and I did it for like $500. It probably would have been another $150-$200 if I had to hire another mover and I didn’t help.

Wow. Our payment for housing is $900/ month and we’re both on disability. You’re lucky the cost is so low!
