Oddly enough, there should be numbers on almost all types of gambling tickets, etc., stating that if you feel you have a problem with gambling, call this number. Do a google search for Gamblers Anonymous or Gambling Anonymous. A portion of proceeds from some casinos go to fund programs like those.
Good Luck,
There is life after bad credit, once you stop the gambling.
> I have no $ and my Medicare benefits (from a disability) don't start until March. I need some serious help! My addiction happens to be gambling, and I am in the midst of a major binge. In the past 24 hours, I have gambled away all my cash and available credit ($9,000). I am on SSDI, so there's no way I can pay this all back. Help! Would a treatment center accept me, just as they would an alcoholic. I don't know where to turn; I just know I'm frantic.
