Hi Milehigh and welcome to the site. Yes there is hope, you can stop gambling. You no longer have to do it on your own – you have support here and elsewhere. If you go to the My Journal Forum you will see a lot of stories similar to your own, you will alos see the sort of things that have helped others stop gambling. If you start your own thread there )copy and paste this one) you will get a lot of feeback and support. it is a busier Forum. This Topic Group Forum is for set Topics that are discussed in some of the groups here.
Hopefully I will also see you in one of the groups here as well.
