hi onliner, welcome to GA
The addiction/Illness can lay dormant for weeks months even years, but will always come back 10 fold when u invite it. This time it was a stressfull day at work. Each time even though you know you will never win, the addiction tells you, that you can,hence why you will bet more to chase the previous losses. Ask yourself when you loose you already said you try to re-coup the loss, but if you had won, would you have wanted to win more? I know i did and couldnt then stop win or loose. Reading your words i feel that you maybe on the edge of a very deep hole, so the choice is urs now. You can chase the next loosing bet down the hole, and struggle to get out, OR look at the rope behind you grab onto it and get urself to a GA meet. Not many CG have choices, well we do we just choose to ignore them as the addiction takes over.
I'm sure if you look on the home page you will find a meeting near you, what have you got to loose by going, then think but i have everything to gain.
Take care onliner
I wish you all the best in your recovery.
