Hope your buddy is ok and gets out of this mess Jellybean. The good news is that he is still alive. He needs to get mentally healthy before it starts wearing him out physically.
I know 1 person who shot himself at work after he lost all his online money and maxed out all his credit avenues. The problem was that he used a small caliber handgun when he needed to use something more powerful so it took a few hours for him to die, and he was alert the entire time. The guy was also bi-polar but I never knew that until after he was dead. He was just a cool guy, played linebacker in high school, was a friend of mine. Tough guy, never backed down from a fight.
There have been men and women who committed suicide because they lost everything due to shopping addiction. The bookies are not to blame in my opinion, they wouldn't be here unless there was a demand for their services. Our government is a bookie. I believe you said your friend was a bookie too.
You just have to keep things in perspective and realize that money, material things, power, all these things are meaningless really. In 80 years we will all probably be dead and it won't matter how much we made on Earth. I am religious and believe it is the devil that drives us to want more and more of this stuff. For me, God is first, then my family. Nothing else is really important, maybe a few friends. We all are greedy and its up to each individual to come up with a plan how to keep it from taking us over.
Tiger Woods in 10 years will be yearning to be a billionaire instead of just a multi millionaire.
