Hi Josh,
Despite the misery and pain of your expriences with gambling, at least you have come to a place where people are rooting for you to succeed.
I can only imagine how trapped you feel, having that debt around you, and for one so young it must feel like you will live your life paying it back.
Are you employed? and where do you live? If you live in the uk i know there are several organisations that can help you consolodate your debt and liase with your creditors on your behalf to help you pay some of your debt off. You will have to be honest about your addiction but it may be an option for you.
All the best, and keep posting,
