Hi dave_t
Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on asking for help. We all know that is not an easy thing to do. Especially since most of us when we were gamblers were too embarassed to tell anyone.
Find your nearest GA meeting location. The best advice I can give you is walk in the doors.
Re your debts. There is free financial counselling available in the UK. Utilise the service and find out exactly where you stand re your debts. You should be able to work out a repayment plan that is suitable to both you and the creditor. All they want is the assurance and an effort on your part that you are going to pay them back what is rightfully theirs.
Remember...only you have the power to stop yourself from gambling. You have to want to stop.
GA can help you along the way. Accept their help.
This is not an easy addiction to beat, but it can be done.
Best wishes
Roy
