Any suggestions?

Try Gambler's Anonymous. What it did for me above all else was to introduce a group of people who got it and wouldn't let me b.s. my way past the problems gambling was causing to me and those around me. The first year was tough but I haven't played video poker since April of '07. I'd wish you good luck, but a strong belief in luck and strong desire to prove that your 's is somehow superior to what the math says it is is part of the problem. Take care of yourself.
