Hi Nick,
You say you have nearly lost everything through gambling and feel silly going to GA meetings. I have been a compulsive gambler fo a very long time and to, nearly lost everything too many times. I started on fruit machines then over the years the illness progressed and convinced myself it was about the money. So started going on bigger fruit machines then roulette in bookies. The truth is it doesn't matter what the gambling is if YOU feel its effecting your life you need to do something about it. I from first hand experience can tell you that once you are in the room with fellow GA members you won't feel silly one bit. The first step is admitting you need help and the second is to find it. I wish you all the best and hope you give GA a try.
My name is Dave and I am a compulsive gambler.
