<prompt> Human: Its embarrassing to admit but I am addicted to online gambling and have abused my credit cards and even taken out unsecured personal loans to continue playing. I currently owe over 100k. I currently make roughly 65k a year at my job. I am trying to determine if bankruptcy may be an option and would appreciate anyones advice. I know that I need to solve the underlying gambling issue first and I am seeking help on that end as well.  <response>: to a search for gamblers anon and if youre serious, go to a meeting tonight. find a therapist that focuses on addiction recovery. once you have a hold on this. then think about fixing your finances. if you fix your finances first you run the risk of just digging another hole.
