    Tough to do it all alone so why not check out your local Gamblers Anonymous meeting where you ca find all the help you will need and want. One of the tools of recovery is called a Pressure Relief Group which deals with the financial side of recovery. Sounds like you could use that. Give it a try. Every journey starts with the first step.
