Brad,
You say you will go to a meeting at 23 i wish i did actually go!! I wont offer any advice to you albeit to say go to that meeting. If you truly want to stop and want to live a better life as the past four years nearly ahve been for me then the first thing to say is I am powerless over gambling, you mentioned "oh just one more" the whole point to being a compulsive gambler is one is as bad as sixty as once in action we cannot stop. Let me just say if I had stuck to a programme at 23 I would have tens times more than I have now but what is gone is gone and our destiny is of our own choosing!! I will be a compulsive gambler at 50 let alone 34 as I am now!! but I can do a lot rectifying all the damage I caused before, just by living one day at a time....and saying today I will not gamble.
