Lucky enough, I have not suffered any serious consequences because of gambling. I think the only moment I made a mistake that almost cost me a lot as when I gamble with money that was mine. That period was hell for me after losing. I have to go look for petty jobs which wasn't easy at all. Finally I settled the money but ever since then I dont dare gamble with money that is not mine.
Am very happy that you have also learnt something from such mistake, atleast you can now advise other gamblers that it is very wrong for any gambler to gamble with the money thats not their own, you know what, if one does not think twice, gambling can lead you into doing things that you will sometimes sit down and think that you weren't they actual person that did that but this can only happen when you're not im control of yourself, gambling just requires us as gamblers to be very disciplined, just imagine what you went through because of such mistake that would have been avoided, your story is a lesson to other people people who will want to toll that way not to because of what's involved.
