You have made a start by admitting that you have a problem with gambling. You have admitted it here and you need to now see yourself as a problem gambler who needs to stop. How? Lose access to the means of gambling. That may mean admitting to your family that you are a gambler and letting them take control of your finances. It’s a big step and you will probably need support. Call GA or a similar self-help group local to you and let them talk you through it. Then keep busy. Don’t give yourself time to gamble. It is not easy to stop and it is not easy to stay stopped, but it is possible – believe me.
