Hi JM,
I am sorry to hear of your story and BIG Dave is right try and get yourself to a meeting. The thing that caught my eye with your story was your last sentence 'well at least I hope it can't get worse'. Trust me, if you continue to gamble it will get a whole lot worse, you said the only sign that you didnt answer yes to was stealing. Well if you are in debt and are selling things (your car) to fund gambling or pay debts caused due to gambling, it won't be long before the option to steal is staring you right in the eyes. The thing that used to suprise me when I was gambling was how much worse things got and how quickly. I did things I would never have thought I would do due to gambling. Please stop, you are still young and can have a great life. It will get harder and harder to stop the longer you carry on. Good luck to you, I hope you suceed, you sound like you have a great career ahead of you too, don't ruin it.
