Hi Antonio
I can understand where you are at. I stayed gamble free for a good few years, became financially secure, even had some savings. Within the last month I have blown the lot and more. Must be about 25k. I am looking at the damage today. I have been in contact with pay plan and they have recommended a DMP. This would leave me in a situation where essential bills can be covered and some payment can be made to creditors.
I am finding it really hard to deal with the fact that I have turned a comfortable situation into a disaster zone and I am going, literally, to be paying for my mistakes for years. So feeling really rubbish right now and very fidgety, it is really like coming off a drug, but trying to tell myself that once you have hit rock bottom you can only go back up and there can actually be worse things that happen in life.
Hoping in time things feel better and I am going to arrange counselling to help me out. Telling your wife is a tough one, if you think it will end your relationship then I really don't know. I am in a dilemma of confessing. I told my girlfriend and we are taking things day by day right now but I can't face telling my father, he helped me in the past and I promised never again. I think it would break his heart if I told him.
