See a psychologist. You obviously have a gambling problem. Do it now before it gets any worse and ruins your relationship with your loved ones.

Funny to see those "typical" answers, like go see a shrink.

No, OP, before you see anyone - arrest your addiction.

How?

Make it impossible for you to bet, and if you can't - put fences around it, the more - the merrier.

This is how you educate yourself to stop betting, and thus you can focus on building a better life for yourself, but you have to put your addiction under arrest (just like a cop puts a civilian under arrest), once it's locked - it's locked, you won't be able to release it so quickly, it will require to pass the fences you build.

For example - self exclusion, keep your money with your loved ones so you won't be able to spend it - any website that causing you problem contact the site and ask for permanent account closure without the ability to reopen the account etc.


I honestly think that's not a "typical" answer. What's typical is "just stop gambling."

Seeing a shrink means seeking expert help. Shrinks are in the best position to tell one addicted to gambling where the problem lies and how to go about it step by step (as gambling addiction may be treated on a case-to-case basis).

I believe consulting a psychologist is always better than getting not some non-whole-hearted advice from random people who sometimes just play expert (and never even really got to study serious cases of addiction unlike psychologists who did).
