Just an update for anyone reading this.
n
nMy 100k+ debt is now down to 13k. Additionally, I’ve paid off 42k in student loans, and 49k in loans for my wife.
n
nI am about 16 months GF and by the end of next month will officially be debt free. This burden I’ve carried for so long will finally be off of me. I’m not really sure how I’ll feel; I’ve spent so much time chasing, stressing and worrying. I’ve always worried about what’s going to come in the mail, who’s going to call. I haven’t gotten any bad calls or mail in months, but I still stress.
n
nI’m so excited to finally close this long, 18 year chapter of my life. Gambling had been such a big part of my life for so long, but after 16 months it’s completely gone. I’ll never go back to that person I was.

nAs always, if you’re reading this, trust me when I say you can beat this. If I can, anyone can. Come up with a plan that doesn’t require you to gamble. Gambling is NOT the means to an end.
