I Agree with most of the other posters, that this is basically down to your own lack of self-control. I do think that you need help and there are lots of different ways and places you can do this.

You have made a total mess of the title of this post though, it's not poker that caused the problem and 6K in debt is hardly going to ruin your life.

I understand the reason behind you posting this, but unfortunately for you the blame lies squarely on yourself, you were never forced into blowing this cash or gambling.

I hope you get some help, but if you do decide to play poker again, then start at the beginning and read the books, play the micro-limits etc etc.

GL for the future.
