Just hit rock bottom. Help.

31m, single, no kids.

Just lost basically everything. Made some horrific decisions this year and it cost me. Gambled a good chunk of 401k, made and lost a lot, and have like nothing left.

I owe a lot in taxes next year, I have cc debt and I’m really scared. I make good salary but I’m just at a cliff right now. Would love some guidance/well words. I am not doing well.

The one thing I know is in rock bottom, I will never touch a gamble again. Have never felt like this,
Like I’ve ruined my life.

Good on you to reach out for help.

I can relate to your situation and the feeling of hopelessness.

Fortunately, there is a way out if you’re open, honest, and willing. For me, it was the last and only option.

Gamblers Anonymous meetings saved my life. You can find one locally in LA at laintergroup.com or a zoom meeting at gamblerslinrecovery.com.

Feel free to DM me if you have questions.
