Hi Hunter and welcome. Well done on looking for help. You can stop gambling I promise you; read the other stories here and you will see the sort of things that have helped others stop gambling.

As other have siad – accountability helps, your partner alreaday knowsa bout the problem so I am sure he would be delighted to help with that. We all know that when we lose our money we can’t gamble – no money = no gambling, use that knowledge now. I would alos get yourself banned from that casino. Go and ask security to exclude you – again going with your partner would help, he will see how serious you are about stopping. If you do go to exclude on your own then go with no money or credit cars on you – no danger of a “final fling” then.

The most important thing though is to use support. If we could do it on our own then we wouldn’t be in trouble in the first place. If there is a casino near you then it is very likely there is also a Gamblers Anonymous meeting in your area, go and check it out and see the support there. You also have this Forum and the Groups and Helpline here.

Keep posting and let us know the positive steps that you are taking.
