Help. Gambling my future away
I got a very serious gambling addiction. I'm 20 years old and studing at Duke university. I have been gambling my school fees and monthly allowance away. Every month my parents put money in my account so I can pay my School fees and have enough to survive. For the last 6 months I have been using that money to play Texas Hold 'em poker.

The problem is I cannot stop. My parents have no idea of my deception. I have recieved many warnings from the university and just yesterday recieved a final warning. They threatening to kick me out of college and take my parents to court for failure of payment.

PLEASE HELP, WHAT MUST I DO? If I tell my parents they will be disappointed and force me to move back to Texas and finish my studies thier where they can keep a eye on me.

PLEASE I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. There is no way I can come up with 6 months school fees in a month. My only solution is to tell my parents I need a car and when then use that money to pay the fees. Any advice Welcomed.

Typical D00kie. Good luck prick!
Sounds to me like you screwed the pooch. I think it is entirely possible that you would be better off in Texas because you're obviously not responsible enough to be on your own.
If you are looking for an easy way out, forget it.

Accept responsibility, tell your parents and expect to hear a whirlwind of crap coming your way.

Get help for this addiction, it is very common and self-destructive. I suggest you leave school before they kick you out since you have no self-control.

Step 1: Tell your parents, explain you have an illness that you can't control.
Step 2: Leave school, withdraw from all classes.
Step 3: Get help for the addiction.



You should not deceive your parents any longer. Good luck and stay off clear away from gambling sites.
Good luck getting help on your problem, I hope you dont blow all your money on gambling cause this is a serious issue these days.

Seek a doctor immediately!
Wow and I thought my life sucked!
just stop gambling( i know that probably makes me sound like an @$$ but it is possible with enough willpower) and try the car trick, if it doesnt work your in just as deep sh*t as you would have been anyway
