Dear Pat,
I wonder if your favorite drug of choice at the casino is the slot machines. My guess is it is.
Debt is the byproduct of underlying issues. In this case it is the result of what appears to be a gambling addiction.
There is no solution for the debt that will work until you address the gambling addiction which is driving you emotionally, psychologically, or chemically.
Without help and support the chances of you successfully beating back the gambling issue are not good.
Let’s tackle the gambling first.
Please find a local Gamblers Anonymous meeting and promise me you will go and fall into the loving arms of others there who will help you as much as you are willing to help yourself.
Please post your responses and follow-up messages to me on this in the comments section below.
You are not alone. I'm here to help. There is no need to suffer in silence. We can get through this. Tomorrow can be better than today. Don't give up.
