Basically what the title says.
The details.
I just won a lot of money and I am realistic about my addiction and the fact that I will probably go right back to the casino. I got really lucky and won more than I have ever lost and I basically just more scared than anything.
I have never gone into debt because of gambling but more than a few times I have taken 10-20% of my bank account and blew it at the casino and I am finding it hard to go more than a week without wanting to do coke.
I am basically quadrupling my bank account with this money and I already feel urges to party, "win more" etc.
The questions. And some preface I guess.
I think it might be a good idea to tie most of this money up in some way for an amount of time before while I figure out what to do with it/deal with my addictions.
What are my best options for doing so? I could hire a finance advisor and set myself up on a budget that would enable me to lip but not go to the casino with 10K? Could buy a year long bond with most of it to keep it tied up while I try to tackle my addictions though counseling etc? Could I keep it in a joint account where I am allowed a certain amount per month but need permission to take out more? Could I give it to my father to hold in his bank account and he can just transfer me an amount every month for a few months.
This is personal finance so my questions pretty much remain with what are my best options to tie up this money so that I cannot use it while dealing with my addictions. I will still need to live, maintain my life etc.
Sorry if this post isn't well written... I have been up all night. I need some financial guidance and other guidance but the other things I am doing are going to a meeting and I also just told my best friend about this and we talked for about an hour and that was a good step one.
Thanks you. I realize that this is weird way to go about winning $100k but this is the first time I am faced with the realization of the dangers of these issues.
Edit: I am pretty sure I know what I want to do with this money. I want to start a business or invest in a property. I am more wondering about a temporary solution or hold while I get a better grasp on a course of action for these issues. I very well could go to the casino some time this week with 5k-10k and I do not want to do that.
Having said that maybe a permanent solution like a property is the best option. I am not sure. Just trying to over explain I guess because I do feel like I have longer term goals for the money.
