Hi Chewison
Many people come to their first GA meeting hoping that we can show them a way to control their gambling. After years of listening to the stories I have come to the conclusion that for the compulsive gambler who wants to get well then total abstinance is the only way.
If you stop gambling on everything then things will not get any worse. I used to think that gambling was a solution to my problems but since going to GA I have learned that gambling was causing my problems.
I wish you well
