Hi Viper . I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s death. Losing a parent is truly horrible , and I understand how alone it makes u feel.
Your post is very honest . Well done on starting a thread, recognising you have a problem and seeking support .
Should you run away from your debt . Why not? However you will not be able to run away from your addiction.
Stopping gambling gives us a much happier perspective on life . Debt can be managed . I struggle with stopping myself but I know barriers are important .. You know gambling blocks , not too much available cash etc
I guess I am better at giving advice than following it.
The thing is you know You can stop because you have enough control not to gamble on a work computer.
Back to running away. Once piece of very goo advice I was given is to never make a big decision while you are in grief . Your view Of the world is clouded . So perhaps you could keep running away as an option while working on your debts and your gambling
