Gambling addiction in general: Absolutely broke, no way out, what am I going to do?

Hello dear gamblers,
first about me, I'm 40, female and play since September 2016. Only in OC because there are no arcades near us because I live in a small village. It all started with a free ticket at Lottoland. There I quickly discovered the Scratch cards ...... times 10 euros deposited and then I discovered the slots, where I could play with 10 euros yes much longer than with the tickets. Since the beginning of my gaming career, I have not been able to make a single big win and I just do not understand how you can be so stupid and still keep playing.
Since then I signed up for more and more OCs and quickly got banned from some of the big ones because I didn't win anything there. I always saw the game as a pastime and paid in the first year only max 50 euros. But unfortunately that did not last.
I live with my partner and we bought a house three years ago which we are renovating.

In September of last year I got sick and was only allowed to lie in bed for 4 months and so the gambling escalated completely. I deposited sums up to 500 euros and that daily. The building account was quickly plundered. In January 2018, I then borrowed 20000 euros over the Internet to replenish the construction account, you can imagine for sure what happened little by little with the 20000?! In February, my best friend borrowed for me 35000 and again gambled away everything.

Well, since then I crawl from day to day and try somehow to make ends meet. Gambling ruins EVERYTHING. I can no longer look my partner in the eye. I earn 2600 Euro at my job and pay 2700 in installments for borrowed money.
for four weeks I run from bank to bank trying to merge the Debt with a moderate rate, but unfortunately no bank plays along because of course they see my catasrophic statements.
Since 2016 about 80000 euros gambled and about 6000 paid off. Since 01 this month I have largely blocked me at almost all OCs, unfortunately much too late. At 2 I am still active, because I can play now and then when the addiction grabs me too much there with play money.

13.08.....Threat of power cut, all accounts in the minus, refrigerator empty, still 500 euros bills open.
What am I supposed to do.....? Family....none available, partner....I can't ask, he has nothing himself. Friends, I already have...., nothing works! I see no way out.....I am very desperate.....I just wanted to win big once, so that we could all be happy. Why did I fall for this shit, why are some people (me) so stupid (despite good education).
:'(

Block yourself from all casinos - you don't have to have an account with many for play money.

Debt counseling.
Therapy.

Start.
There is no other way.

And what will they tell me? Stop gambling and go to Debt counseling! That will be the answer, I already know it. It's all going on but 4 weeks waiting time is really awesome.....It's my turn to quit, but what can I do today to survive this month for example?

Lottoland are real rip-off artists.


In your case, leave gambling of any kind behind. Completely best cut the internet as well
and live like in the 80s. Then

Start a new life. File for bankruptcy with the bailiff.

Go borrow fruits and vegetables if you live in the country, you're lucky it's
Summer.

Ham noodles are good for survival. Ask a few users here

In any case, do not continue to play and hope for wins.
You can try to ask the creditors of the open bills if they could extend the payment term. Otherwise try to make ends meet somehow. That's all you can do at the moment.

Don't hang your head. It will certainly not be an easy time for you. But as sorry as I am, you have brought the cheese to yourself 😠there you have to go through now. But better times will come again, without gambling. You have to be strong. Stop gambling. Get help and everything will be fine.

Also, don't make any more gambling money games. Completely stop and live like we did in the 80s. Just like that.

Don't ruin your health because of money. Money is worth nothing. The biggest lie in this world is
that people think monopoly money is worth something. Rothschild €/Dollar money is nothing else than printed
Newsprint. Don't break yourself over it.

Go get fruits and vegetables to survive, and then step by step get back into normal
Life. In this system, a normal life is not possible here.
