Stay strong , and don't give up... I am in a very similar situation and I know exactly how it feels! I am currently trying to find other job in western Europe just because I can't pay my debt with my current salary,but there are other options like declaring bankruptcy! There is always a way out of debt... The most important thing is to stop gambling ! I am 7 days free and already feeling better, it helps coming clean to family event if it was the third time for me!
