MRT144, first of all I congrat you for realizing you've a problem
It isn't easy to do that. My best advice is to follow KrazyHorse's advice and try to stop whenver possible.

Just stop it man. Gambling is irrational, the odds are weighted against you unless it's sports and you are really knowledgeable.
I don't gamble any more since I am a couple of hundred dollars up and I can't see it getting any better. I got a good tip on the Grand National in 1992 and it's the only bet I ever made.Only feebs vote.Comment

I prefer to gamble on addictions myself. How many days till the crackhead on the corner OD's, that sort of thing.
Anyway, do credit-card companies offer a "refuse to approve charges by this customer on online gambling services" service? They should. Failing that, find some other way to limit your own weakness. If your friend is quitting too, make a deal: every time you slip and gamble, he gets to punch you in the nuts. And vice versa. If Pavlov was right, your attraction to gambling should wane a little. Okay, so that example's exaggerated, but you hopefully get what I mean. Work together and back each other up. Make your big difficulty work to your advantage.
Says the guy who's never had a problem with addictions. Well, it might work...Comment

I've never understood the compulsion people feel to through their money away.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Stew has a bit of a gambling problem. Personally, I just can't see any compulsion to it whatsoever...Speaking of Erith:

I go to casinos a few times a year. Whatever cash I take in, I expect to lose. I consider it an entertainment tax because I do enjoy doing it. I don't consider it a problem. And if I win or even not lose it all, it's icing on the cake.Originally posted by chegitz guevara

MRT; get into the stock market, curbs my gambling addiction. Best thing about it is that there is no upper limit and you control most of the odds, if you learn the rules.Comment

I've never understood gambling, but I know it's dangerous.
I had a friend over in Scotland (went to St. Andrews for my semester abroad) who would blow almost all his allowance money on those machines in the pubs that take Pound coins. Pound coin, pound coin, pound coin.... presto, no more money. It was nuts. He didn't drink or smoke (stupid things that I do), but the gambling was a real problem for him.
My father has a friend/business associate, fabulously weathly, who has gambling issues. The thing is, this guy can afford it. He goes into casinos and will be up or down by 50,000 Pounds or more in one night. Since he's worth ~$100 million+ he can do that and not go bust. But he's definitely got issues.
Gambling is like a drug to some people. I consider myself lucky that I don't like it, since I do have a rather addictive personality.
MRT - I don't know if I'm qualified to give you advice on this, but if you want it, I'd say limit yourself to $100 per year. Once you've blown that (the House always wins, man), NO MORE. If you cannot do that, seek help.

Granted it fun to win, but if you expect to or have to, you shouldn't be doing it.
There is nothing more fun than a HOT crap table.
