    My family is in huge debt because of my gambling addiction. I am thinking about committing suicide. Whenever I have money I end up gambling with it. All my friends have left me. I think I am better dead.

      Kumar you are not alone. You are better alive! No amount of money could replace you. Your family may be angry and disappointed, but I’m pretty certain, that they love you and would forgive you if you make the necessary changes. This can be fixed. You have to want it. There is hope and there is an answer. Your first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. You are here in search of an answer. We’ll find one as a group-together. You are not alone.

      Hi Tired
      Sadly I know all too well what suicide can do to a family.
      My son showed no signs of depression but I think trying to support two kids from two different relationships on very little money just became too much for him 🙁 Remember this saying when your mind turns to dark thoughts. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Not a day goes bye that I don’t wish my son had reached out. Stay strong my friend.
