I gambled away wages and a friend was able to cover my rent otherwise I would have faced eviction. I have no money to get through month . I reached a crisis point and cannot continue like this but I wondered how I can survive this month

I have been in the exact same circumstance resorting to borrow money  via friends and family selling and pawning items that often needed time limit extended another month to retrieve possessions its a seedy business even pawned decent phone bought a cheap one lost pawned one to  cash conversion please don't up overdraft at bank and gamble this as I have I haven't asked work for an advance however Icould be an option I'd be cautious with this option

You will muddle through. We always do. You have a roof over your head, that's the main thing. Am sure you can seek out food and water.

Start making preparations for next month, so the same doesn't happen again... practical barriers etc etc. I've been through periods of my life where i've lived on the edge for months and months... all due to gambling. Don't let that happen to your good self.

Chin up. Life goes on.
