I mean Iv never understood Gambling as an addiction.
Live your life
Do all the things with the money you need to do, Pay Bills, rent, car insurance, car payments, clothing, food, a night out a couple of times a month.
and save what you have left over for the season on the sport of your choice and play small, enjoy yourself, You win great, You lose oh well, start all over again.
I know this wasn't an answer to the question but as adults, we all need to show a semblance of control and restraint.
You don't understand addiction. If you are addicted to gambling, you don't care if you win or lose really. You care about having action.
Oh yeah. Fantasy football is a great way not to gamble.
Do a couple leagues for whatever amount and just let that be your only gambling outlet. Not volatile and you can wastes as much time as you like.
FF is a great way NOT to gamble, but just do it for whatever amount and have it be your ONLY gambling outlet?
People really are this dumb. Covers

You quit, you come running back, you quit again, you come racing back...You lose again and you harm yourself. You say you won't do it again, but like any type of addiction for some reason you can't get over it....That is my problem. I have harmed myself for the first time. I don't know where this leads but I think it's a deep dark path.
I hate who I am. I hate what I have become. I have lost all faith in myself, and outside of hanging my nephew there is nothing that I look forward to doing anymore. I have grown to start to despise sports because I wrapped myself into this gambling world. I hate it. It's pure evil.
I thought i was getting over this but I can't. I don't know what the next step is, because I'm lying to myself and others. Maybe I will just drink my sorrow, because that seems to work. I don't know if I will return to the message board again, but best of luck to all of you...Many of you will feel my sorrow, some will joke about it but I don't hold grudges. I wish all the best because for once maybe that is the right thing to do.....Wish I would have learned that sooner.

...start going to movies, parks, museums, work out, go out to dinners, travel, other activities to avoid even watching sports or ESPN...quit cold turkey...the first few days week is the hardest but if you can make it a few days, then a week, then before u know it you haven't bet in a month and its a fantastic feeling
best of luck brotha there are better days ahead and always better solutions than killing yourself
