I am glad to hear that you want to stop before you lose everything. I never thought I would be in the place I am in. It is so sneaky that you are caught up before you realize it. You are on the right track by seeking help. I just joined here about a week ago and reading the threads and responding to others helps me remember why I am here. I am going to my first ever GA meeting tomorrow night. I am excited and scared. I have banned myself from the closest casinos but the town my parents live in is the casino capital of our state. There are at least 10 casinos in the small town of about 40,000 people. I have been stopping every weekend when I go see my parents. I am going to have to ban myself from those also. I have made up my mind. I keep telling myself that it takes a second to say no but it takes a lifetime to live with the regret of giving in. Hang in there. You are in the right place.
