Hi ade,
Siblings helping you with debt, why ?. They didn't create the debts you did. Sharing banking passwords so they can see what so they can see money coming in & out of the account ?. What planet are you on, I ask that out of respect. Big deal so they can see what they already know that you're gambling large amounts of money. They clearly already know that mate.
Apart from basic expenses you shouldn't have access to money at all. You need to understand you're an addict who can't help yourself right now. CGs have a toxic relationship with money. Whilst in the grip of addiction they can't be trusted with money. The harsh reality is you need to hand over your finances to a family member & provide receipts for every penny you spend. Have you considered going to a GA meeting, have you self excluded through Gamstop for 5 years ?. Here's the truth mate anyone who helps you with your debts becomes your enabler, let's face it if you were a heroine addict would it make your family feel any better if they could see how much you were paying the drug dealer every week.
It's about admitting you're powerless over your addiction & cutting off completely any access you have to the very thing that feeds it CASH and access to it. You really need help not just people who tell you not to gamble but those who can make you understand fully addiction & how powerful it is. My advice is keep coming here, read diaries, get counselling and find out where & when the nearest GA meeting is held.
Sincere Best Wishes
