<prompt> Human: Hi.My wife is at work, she brings home the real money. We had a fight earlier, I had to drop her off at work because I cant afford to fix my car. I could have, I guess, but I just withdrew 300, all of my money, and gambled it at the slots.Some information:I only have a GED but I get paid weekly from my unemployment which is almost over. I have swindled my money and given my wife a 13rd of it besides that. Im just depressed about it. I have about less than 2k in debt and no prospects or skills besides delivering pizza. We have a 10 and 13 year old. Ive been holding off posting here because tackling my small debt is a haunting feeling.. I dont know.I am financially illiterate. Thinking about bills and savings for some reason makes me feel paralyzed. I have gambled instead of paying a crucial debt or bill numerous times and have been reducing my playing area by self-excluding banning myself from the close casinos.Its not just gambling, working jobs that enable me to smoke weed at work, smoking cigarettes, eating out. This sounds like an addiction issue, and I have tried to go years and months sober; Even sobriety seems to amplify my money problems eating out, gambling and other frivolous spending.Im just at rock bottom. I dont know. I wish I had credit and a middle class style jobs but Im just a poor teenager at heart, not ready to face the world. Im sitting outside in a casino parking lot, broke and writing this glumly.I just dont qant to text my pregnant wife and ruin her night at work. ;  <response>: Its not a financial problem, its a self control problem. Get a hold of yourself. Its not about you. Its about your wife and kids. If you dont see that there isnt much hope.Go to NA, AA or any other addiction program you can find. Your family deserves better.
