Hi bud, welcome to the forum!
Sorry to hear about your story, but I’m glad to hear that you’re getting back on track. Now you’ve broken this cycle, stick to it and never go back. Gamban is a great tool to help you stay on track, so I’m glad to hear it’s been useful for you.
I do, however (and this is just my personal opinion) think it’s wrong to take donations to pay off your gambling debt. I, too, have got myself into significant debt in the past through irresponsible gambling, however I got myself out of it through hard work and commitment – after all, it was only me that got myself into that situation, no one else. It’ll feel a lot more rewarding to make a fresh start off your own hard work and earnings.
If you’re struggling financially then I suggest using StepChange – they’re a great charity when facing financial difficulty and they certainly helped me get my life back on track. Their link is: https://www.stepchange.org/
Good luck!
