I stoped counting years ago and that’s when it was close to a few million. It’s definitely not a competition to see how much we can loose. I imagine it all hurts the same. The more we can get our hands on the more we can loose. Sometimes I think I would be better off with no income. I worked most of my life just to dig in and out of debt. I have a good gig as I work from home and no one looking over my shoulder . How I manage to maintain my job is beyond me. Meaning this addiction takes so much energy. Weather we are gambling or trying to recover. It’s very draining. I do well at my job and owner of company is always pleased, little do they know I could do so much better. I am so glad you talked to your parents. I know it sucks right now but one less thing to hide and at least that monkey is off your back. I look forward to reading about better days ahead. This to shall pass.
