<prompt> Human: So I have gotten myself into a bind and I figured I would ask here because you all seem to know what youre talking about.Basically, I am 24 years old and im a recovering heroin addict. I left university with 2 credits remaining on my bachelors. I owe roughly 3,000 on four different credit cards, that I took out while under the influence of a lot of substances. I have some debt from university, which my family is helping me pay for. I havent paid a single rent payment so far as my family has helped with all of that. Currently I am working a 15 job in retail 40 hrs a week; I did have a job as a paralegal in a different city, when I lived with my ex making 50,000 combined 100,000, but I lost that because of my addiction.I currently dont have health insurance as I was insured under my paralegal job and I quit and I am not sure how to get insured under my parents or if I should just pay for my own. I am living in a sober house now, but I have to leave in thirty days; I picked the city I currently live in for its sober community, but I do not really want to stay here as the job market isnt the best here its more of a vacation tourism town and really far from my friends and family.I spoke with my family and they said that they would help set me up, by paying my rent and security deposit, to move somewhere new where I want to live. I was thinking it would be a good idea to move back home and live with my family while I pay off my debts, finish school, and try to save for a move to somewhere I want to live that has a lot of options for careers and possibly a good law school, as I want to go to law school. My family does not really want me living at home again as they feel that its a bad influence for me, which I disagree with. So the options would be, stay here, which is the least desirable. Move home, which my family doesnt really want unless I get an apartment near my home that they pay for temporarily, which may help because theyd be closeby to help. Or, pick a new city that I want to live in that is frugal to live in. I dont have a budget. And I live paycheck to paycheck at the moment. I am not sure if I should pay off my credit card debt first or if I should save up for a car the city I live in now relies heavily on cars for transportation. If I should stay where I am, move home and live with my mom, or where I should even start to look for healthy and frugal cities to live in with good job opportunities. I know finishing school should be the priority, but im not sure the best place to do it, I can finish it online, so I can do it anywhere. Sorry that this was all over the place, I appreciate any help.  <response>: Fellow addict here with 6 years clean from the same devil drug. I would highly suggest living away from your old friends and town. Im assuming you are newly sober and as strong as you may feel your very prone to relapse right now. Being away from home and not knowing anyone is the best thing for you. Drugs dont just find you, you have to actively look or it has to be brought up in conversation. Most people dont discuss drugs with strangers. About finances. Take your time. It seems like your family is very supportive! Accept the help and slowly rebuild your life. Stick with your current job until you feel secure and settles it and then look for a better paying job like your previous one. You could always look into how much healthcare would be in your own but most likely it would be cheaper and better coverage under your parents. Just pay the difference adding you would be. Also budget budget budget!!! Cooking all your meals at home and shopping the adds makes a huuuggee difference. Good luck and congrats on your sobriety
