FYI, as a fellow gambler I'm comfortable sharing with you that recovery is possible. Also, do you drink? If you do, it's likely that the gambling addiction is heavily tied to the drinking. Anyways, in my case it was. Once I discontinued the alcohol, the gambling urges went away. 12 step groups can be helpful. I'm convinced that gambling is a pattern of behavior that becomes comfortable and exciting and when repeated over a long period of time, it becomes the addiction.
I'm not here to tell you that your life will be great if you stop gambling. After I stopped drinking and gambling, I dabbled with aderrall and my life went to shit. Be well brother
