<prompt> Human: Little backstory here.I started off using heavy drugs at a young age 14 and that set me down a path Im not really proud of. I dropped out of high school although I have my GED, started selling drugs to get by, was still using heavily. Got sober, and have been trying to piece my life together. Problem is, I owe 7,000 to the state, 8,000 to hospitals, and 1,000 to a cellphone company.I recently started working again, me and my girlfriend got a place. She makes amazing money, and I work my ass off for minimum wage. Problem is, years of drug use and long stretches of homelessness have left my mouth a wreck. To the point where the only whole teeth I have left are the wisdom teeth that recently came in. I keep constantly getting infections in my teethgums, so working is becoming more difficult to do at all, considering I work construction. At this point I am at a loss as I need income, and I have to keep a job as part of my parole. Where do I go from here? What can I even do? The local health department, because I have a job, wants to charge me 20 a tooth, which I cannot afford because I miss so many days of work.Any sort of advice would be appreciated, because Im so far behind most of my peers its honestly embarrassing. I want to turn my life around and get into school, and make something of myself.Edit: couldnt figure out how to flair, oops.Edit 2: Im not sure why I was so vague, I currently have an abscess tooth so I was just desperately writing this. I have to walk down to McDonalds to use their WiFi. I live in Knoxville, TN. Oops.  <response>: Apologies, your post got stuck in the spam filter for an extended period of time.
