Currently on day 7 of GF, I realise it’s still early in my recovery and I’m always aware that the slightest thing could send me spiralling if I allow it to, but in my head I am done with that life. Just dealing with the aftermath of this addiction which has left me in £9k worth of debt and unsure of what to do next. These are loans, credit cards etc. i currently have payment plans set up for all of them but these are only temporary, honestly i wanted to do the snowball method and pay one debt at a time. What methods have people used to get there debt down?
