Marco, 45
The debt and the way back
Then
Marco gambled online. First on soccer, later on everything. He was convinced he could win back his losses. He borrowed money from his brother, then from a friend, then took out a loan without telling his wife. He slept with his phone under his pillow.
The turning point
His wife saw the statements. She said: I don't want to lose you, but this can't go on. Marco blocked himself from every gambling site and gave his bank card to her. He found a debt counselor and an addiction counselor.
Now
Marco hasn't gambled in three years. His debts are almost paid off. He and his wife are still together and talk more than ever. He says: the money comes back, trust takes longer. But it comes.
“Getting help with money and with the addiction at the same time made the difference.”
