Financial and family gumbling Addiction
Hello, I am currently facing some difficult challenges in my life and am seeking support and guidance. I have been struggling with a gambling addiction and it has put a strain on my finances, causing me a great deal of stress and guilt. I also have a new baby and wife, and I fear that I am not providing for them in the way that I should.
I have been experiencing thoughts of suicide and have had difficulty finding a committed counselor to support me through these challenges. I am considering quitting my job and starting fresh, but am worried about the responsibilities and potential consequences of this decision.
I would greatly appreciate any advice, support, or resources that you can offer. Thank you for listening and for being a source of support during this difficult time.
@energeticMango5025 Hi Mango! I hope you are doing well. I am so sorry to hear about everything you are going through. Gambling addiction is so hard to break and I can imagine this is very tough for you. I have attached the website for Gambler's Anonymous which you may find helpful! In regards to your suicidal thoughts, I want you to know that this is never an answer and nothing is worth your life because it always gets better! If you are in crisis, you can call 988 or text the Crisis Text Line at 741-741. If you are international, here is a list of international suicide hotlines. If you are looking for a therapist, Psychology Today has a directory of therapists that you can refine in your area! I really hope this helps. Please keep your head up and know that everything will be okay! ❤️
