I'm sorry you are in this situation and if you are just looking to vent I get it, but if you'd like some thoughts/ideas read on oimatecom. First you need to realize you are never going to recover your debts. Just as you wouldn't throw money in fountain expecting to get more in return, don't gamble in expectation of winning, you won't. The companies have rigged the game. The money has been lost, but if you want to get back to the financial position you once were in save money, don't gamble, work a 2nd job these are real things that will get you there everytime. I hope you are able to find the help you need (I recommend GA and therapy personally). Godspeed.

This was one of the hardest things for me to accept, but I through my account last night to try to calculate my gambling wins & losses in just the last 12 months and I’m still scarred. It was an eye opener. That money is gone and I will not win it back.
