    Hi. Today is mu first day. I just signed up. Its hard to ask for help. I am an addict, my name is Jacobi. Over the many years its been drugs but the last few years have been anything to fill the void. Food, tv, recently the last month has been gambling. $13,000 in loans and checking account gone. And yet i still want to chase the win. I need help before my family walks out on me. Which will be any day now.
