I have been gambling for about two years and am a compulsive gambler. As soon as I receive my paycheck I spend it all. I’ve never experienced something like this. I’ve borrowed thousands of dollars from family. I’m drowning in debt.Â
I don’t feel like I can talk to anyone about this. I just keep slipping and relapsing. I’m already 2 payments late one my insolvency. I’m a mess I can have my insolvency cancelled, I just can’t. When I went into it I managed to take out two more payday loans and can’t seem to pay them back. I’ve been trying but they keep charging interest and I can’t get a head of it.
