Hi Mark.
I think you have made the most important step in stopping, and that is being honest with yourself and admitting your problem.
Try going to the home page and clicking on the About tab and then "Am I a compulsive gambler". It will help you identify the extent of your adiction.
The next step is the same for all of us. Invest some time in your recovery by finding out where your nearest meetings are (again from the Home page, Meetings tab) and go to some GA meetings. You will meet people with similar problems to you and be able to hear how others deal with them.
Take Care
My name is Chris and I too am a compulsive gambler and have not bet for 18 months now
