I, too have lost lots but not everything.  I am just joining this site today because I feel as you do that there is no hope.  My savings is gone, we are behind on everything.  Payday loans to pay bills cause my paycheck goes to the casino.  They have a way of making you feel special, don’t they?  Comp meals, rooms, etc, it’s so easy to fall into the trap.  My husband loves to gamble too so we feed of each other which somehow makes it okay.  Then we have the next day "hangover", swear to never do it again, because we have no money left, then go to lunch, comped, and start at it again.  To longest I have gone without gambling is 4 months, this was about 5 years ago and I really felt good but then I thought I could go back and gamble with moderation, hah! So here I am again, starting over, hopefully before it’s too late.  I am embarrassed and humiliated that at my age I have nothing to show for my years of working.  I am as broke now as I was 30 years ago when minimum wage was 3.75/hr. I need to feel good again.happy trails
