You should contact Gamblers Anonymous. Maybe try to find a local group.

If you are feeling suicidal, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.
First off, stop wishing you were dead, that’s not going to get you anywhere. Second off your not a loser. Everyone in the world has at least one addiction that they need help getting rid of. Your not alone. You just have a bit of a gambling problem. Its time to face your facts, you have an addiction and you need to get rid of it. To get rid off it you need to first stay away from any places or people that may make you want to gamble, second, go find a support group that you can join to help with your addiction, and third, START TAKING THOSE DEPRESSION PILLS AGAIN!!!!!!!! By doing these things you’ll have a great chance of over coming your addiction. I wish you the best. God Bless.
PLEASE call the suicide hot line NOW with these feelings you’re having about yourself. You also should not stop taking your depressions meds. as this is a sign how badly you DO need them. I’m on them too, so it sure is nothing to be ashamed of. But get back on them ASAP, if you have some, take one now! At least it will start to help you. I’m a recovering alcoholic of 20+ yrs. You are NO different than I am! We BOTH have addictions & an addiction is an addiction regardless of the nature of it. I too well know the feelings of one with an addiction, oh how I KNOW. This is why I HAD to ans. your post. We with addictions are actually controlled by our addiction, regardless of the nature of the addiction. I too well know all the feelings of guilt we get, the way we feel about ourselves, they ALL are the SAME exact feelings. You CAN, seriously, you CAN overcome this addiction IF you honestly do want to. IF I a low down alcoholic who drank from 17 on could overcome my addiction, you too CAN do the same exact thing I did. Get yourself to Gamblers Anonymous. I went to AA, I wanted it so badly I went to 8 mtgs. in some wks. when I needed them. I do owe my life to AA & being married also to an alcoholic (my ex), I owe my sanity to Alanon. Without these two programs I could not have done it. You TOO CAN do it! Call a number & find out where there is a mtg. tonite. Who cares if it’s already started, at least you did something about it. If you’ve been to GA, you know how much better you feel just being there, just knowing you are doing something to heal yourself from your addiction. PLEASE fight for it, YOU are WORTH IT! You have a disease like any other disease but you CAN control it. It’s all up to you. Fight for it, it’s well worth it believe me! I fought for my sobriety I got it for sticking with it & controlling it & not letting it control me. Call the hot line for suicide, then call to get some mtg. dates, places for GA & GO FOR IT. You CAN do it, you’re crying out for help which is a good thing. Now DO something about it! I DID, YOU CAN…I DO wish you the very best…:)
Gambling away your kids’ future? Get some damn help and get your sh– together. Time to man up, dude.
