Wait 5 sec.

This is ridiculous. I am an ex addict and it's very hard and a very "sobering" experience.. To get right you have to go through so much. You lose money, put family and friends in inconvenient situations. You are a genuine burden. So it takes a lot to switch that. You have to work whatever job you can, pay your bills, pay back people you owe money to, make right on wrongs you did, go to meetings after work etc. My father passed and I got his truck, I only had a $207 monthly payment which I felt so grateful to only have. Plus insurance obviously. There are things, many, you need to sacrifice to get by. You end up working a job you're less than thrilled with but you need to pay bills, get by, sustain yourself, pay people back. He is not doing any of them. A almost $700 car payment means he has a new vehicle, I also noticed his insurance is $245 or whatever a month. So it's because it's a new vehicle or he had some accidents. imagine driving a new vehicle while not working and asking people to help with it. Lol. He's completely delusional. Sell your car, get something cheaper, get a job, and take care of yourself. Then you might actually get sober, which I don't care what he says, be obviously isn't. Oh, seeing the last few screen shots. He's not even trying. Anxiety is a huge thing, I don't take it lightly. Taking 5times your subscription and having to not take it for a few days to pass a drug test. Yeah. It's just an addiction cycle. He might as well ask for $250,000 because he's a ridiculous person
