    Has anyone self-excluded themselves from the casino? I want to but it feels like cutting off my oxygen. Self-discipline clearly hasn’t worked and I need to impose some external limitations so I just can’t go gamble. I want to quit but can’t and I hate this feeling. Are there any medications to stop the urge?

      I would also suggest you find some counselling and see if there are any GA meetings in your area.
      If you have any questions please feel free…[Read more]
