Hi,
I've been addicted to playing online roulette for the past 3 years. I've manged to rack up tens of thousands worth of debt but somehow manage to convince myself that it's down to the fact that we've bought a house, got married and had a baby in the past 4 years...but deep down I know that I should be nowhere near in this mess! I would never risk not making mortgage payments etc but everything else just goes on gambling. My husband has no idea what is going on as I look after all the money that we both bring in. Luckily I've just been approved for a debt consolidation loan at a low interest rate and I really really want this to be the turning point otherwise I'll just end up in even more debt. I can't tell my husband so I can't go to GA meetings...plus I have a 10 wk old baby to look after. I really just want to throw my laptop out the window because if it's not in the house then I can't gamble but my husband uses it and he would want to know why it had disappeared! This is my first post on this site....am hoping that chatting to other people in similar circumstances will help. I do know what a total waste of time and money it is but I just can't stop <!-- s:-( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":-(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:-( -->
