In the same situation and have a massive vet bill that I got the week after losing all my savings. I don’t know what to do as well really struggling

to get thy self out of that mode where it leads to a dark hole. I need to STOP. I got to STOP myself from this maddness chasing after huge losses. being burn alot. 5 years of gambling on roulette machine never ever pays off matter of fact all form of gambling never ever pays off except pain and misery. my friend join together and uplift each other during this time of crisis. we need all the support we need for now and moving forward.

There may be someone on the forums who is a qualified financial adviser. But until they come forwards I can only give you some general advice. Getting financial advice will need to come locally – I don’t even know which country you are in (I’m in France) so how could we advise?

But what I would say is to seek out good local advice and when you do this don’t hold back on the reasons for seeking it. I made the mistake of not going for advice when I was massively in debt – simply because I was too ashamed about how I had got there. Looking back I may have been able to save myself thousands in interest repayments – but I let shame and embarrassment get in the way.

It may be worth talking to people within local self-help groups as some of them will have had the same problems and may be able to share how they overcame them – although no two stories are the same. Check if Gamblers’ Anonymous is in your country or do a search to find similar peculiar to where you live. I wish you well.
