Good you want to get help. This site is really good- alot of great people and very supportive community.
I can see why you feel that selling your house will send a negative message about yourself in regards to your reputation workwise- but in reality it is probably a sound financial decision- albeit brought on by unsound financial decisions. (but then again gambling is not about financial decisions)
Recognising you have a gambling problem and getting help for it is a really good move. Its never too late and your life will improve in leaps and bounds without gambling.
Stay connected here- alot of great support- and advice- especially about barriers etc.
Stay strong and gamble free.
