"You're a lemon. Like a bad car. There is something... there is something inherently defective in you, and you, and you, and me, and all of us. We're all lemons. We look like everyone else, but what makes us different is our defect. See, most gamblers, when they go to gamble, they go to win. When we go to gamble, we go to lose. Subconsciously. Me, I never feel better than when they're raking the chips away; not bringing them in. And everyone here knows what I'm talking about. Hell, even when we win it's just a matter of time before we give it all back. But when we lose, that's another story. When we lose, and I'm talking about the kind of loss that makes your asshole pucker to the size of a decimal point - you know what I mean - You've just recreated the worst possible nightmare this side of malignant cancer, for the twentieth goddamn time; and you're standing there and you suddenly realise, Hey, I'm still... here. I'm still breathing. I'm still alive. Us lemons, we fuck shit up all the time on purpose. Because we constantly need to remind ourselves we're alive. Gambling's not your problem. It's this fucked up need to feel something. To convince yourself you exist. That's the problem."

Gambling is not the problem, friend. You are just not a good gambler.
I don't mean to come off as a smartass, but come on. If you're blowing your paychecks on gambling, then you have no self-control. Something else is lacking. You could give up gambling only to find yourself drinking or drugging your money away. Put some discipline in your life, or at least your betting.
I'm not going to say good luck to you because that's a form of gambling...and you want to quit.

It's because they don't care in the end. He could go on a streak like no one would believe, but he'd lose it in the end because he couldn't stop.
Winning or losing doesn't matter to problem gamblers when you really get down and look at it.

I don't know anyone, but tell me why it would be a bad thing to check it out? Humiliation? Sounds like you are already there. And besides, who in the group is going to make fun of you? LOL....you actually will find people who will say, "hey, that reminds me of me."
Been to counseling MANY times in my life (mostly family and relationship). The only one who makes fun of the person seeking counseling is the person themselves or the people who are insecure and complete fuks (and who cares about them anyway?).
Give it a shot. What do you have to lose? Your pride? That's already gone. That's what you need to get back.

I did a few meetings in January after I lost the NCAA champ game. It was good but I did not want to do the full no gambling thing. This is a bad disease, but for most of us it never gets out of your system. I wish you much luck my friend.

I went to one GA meeting about thirty years ago. Last one that I attended. Since then I've always had my gambling bankroll separate from household expenses. End of problem.
