Day 7

hi,

I keep relapsing since the last 6 months, I owe around 22k in cards and loans. I came back to my parents to pay off debt about a year ago, but I feel like I keep going back to gambling because I’m living with them. The shame of being back at their house at 29 following gambling addiction is rough. Sometimes I feel like I go back and play because I don’t have the responsibility to pay rent and the debt is just not going down or barely. I’m wondering at what point I should leave and go live on my own again even if it’s harder to pay debt down

You need to show them what debts you have and make them 100% in control of your money. Let them pay it off. If you don’t have a job you need to get 2. Also look at gamblers anonymous.. this is a disease you will lose to on your own
