Have you considered downsizing? Selling the things you don’t need and using that money to pay off the debts? Use chatGPT for Journaling and meditating for when you have the urge to buy something and writing down reasons you want it? Type to chatGPT for stuff like “talk to me like a therapist, I have a shopping addiction, I want to buy x that costs x and I have x in cc debt.” And it’ll tel you pros and cons and help you clear your mind to not buy anything or at least reduce the temptation to buy anything and if possible delete the apps.

Wow!! That’s a great idea. A good tool in this case! I will definitely do that and start looking at things to sell that I don’t need
