Hi loulourocks
Have you been to a GA meeting?
The bills aren't going to be paid & won't go away, so I think you have to tackle the source of your financial problems.
If you can stop the gambling the money will be there for the bills.
I know it sounds simple, but it is very hard for gamblers to acknowledge that the "money tree" is barren sometimes.
I am from Australia & don't know whether you have access to free financial/budgeting advice, but I would suggest you try that avenue first. If you really need your car for work, then I think you either need to give the finance company some money as a form of good faith, OR at least ring them up and tell them that you acknowledge you are behind and let them know what you plan to do about it. You might be able to come to an arrangement with them. They would rather you pay them their money than default entirely. Don't hide from the problems, address each problem one at a time & work your way through them.
Sorry I can't be more helpful,
Best wishes
Roy
