    I have an online gambling problem. I didn’t want to admit I did but I do. Today proved it to me, I denied things to my husband who was going through Stage 3 lung cancer treatment and while he was sick and not working I was gambling away all our money. Today we got a foreclosure notice from an attorney because I haven’t paid the mortgage in 7 months. I was to busy gambling away our money. My husband grew up in this house and I hav3 let him down during his worst time possible. Why did I do this to him? I have cut up all my debit cards and deleted the numbers from all sites but I destroyed my husband. I guess I need help

    • Hi Anjholl
      I too almost lost my home due to my illness but once I admitted why I wasn’t making my house payments to the bank and I was
      to work out a plan with the bank and get caught up. I explained to them that I was getting counseling and attending GA meetings.
      During my 16 years in recovery I never missed a payment and this past Spring I paid off my help. So suggest you meet with the lawyer and the bank and be honest and see if they are wiling to work with you.
      God Bless

    • Thank you!

    • I know how you feel I would go to the casino on Saturday when my husband would be working I felt so guilty I was there for hours but now I’m six weeks without gambling and he never knew I went to the casino

    • I am in the same boat. I have a major problem with gambling. I haven’t paid our mortgage and we received a foreclosure notice as well. I am still gambling and I feel terrible about it every day. I say I’m going to stop and I do for a few days and start again. I’m not a stupid person and I know it is ridiculous to put my family in this situation, but I feel like I can’t stop. I’m miserable and feel hopeless.
