News of Gambling Addiction Forum

Hi there,
I’ve been dealing with a gambling addiction for the last two years...it has significantly become worse since last December. I have a ton of debt now and no savings.

I quit and told myself I was done. I quit for about a month or so, maybe more?

I have been saving up hard to buy a vehicle.
