Hi, I also gambled for around 30 years and the gambling only ever got worse never better! I tried also to control gambling on my own and it never ever did work, I think the longest abstinence I ever had was around 5 months and then went back with much worse results. I tried different counselling services and got people to hold my cards etc. I was in and out of the GA programe also but it wasn't until I finally admitted that gambling had me beat and I had no where else to go that I finally got back into GA and started working the 12 step program that I have now had abstinence for 10 years.
I wish you well in your recovery but if you need GA they are always there with welcoming arms and hope.
Regards
Helen
