Here I am after admitting to, and understanding my problem. I cannot say how long ago I started this HORRIBLE addiction, but I know it's been a few years. I have a gambling problem. I fight it urge EVERY single day. Being diagnosed with "PATHOLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL GAMBLING", I found out I have most ALL of the symptoms. I've accumulated a MOUND of debt (thousands by now), and have kept it from my husband (of 3 years ). I finally came out with it yesterday, and his reaction was nothing I expected....but now he is severly depressed, and I can say the same for myself. I am seeking professional help, but I am faced with this debt. I found a debt reduction plan I think I will go with, but what I want to know, is there any legal way to file bankruptsy to rid "gambling debt"? I have a doctor's diagnosis to proove my diagnosis.

I'm not sure, but since you have this problem every day you should really be having appointments with a psychologist. you could also ask the psychologist about your debt problem. You could always take up a hobby to replace gambling with.

I think it depends on how you paid the debt to begin with ie. did you put it on credit cards or what? You should speak to a bankruptcy attorney. Many of them have a free consultation, and they can probably answer you questions better than anyone here. At least better than anyone on this health site. You might repost this question under law.

You need to contact Gamblers Anonymous.
