I suffer from pathological gambling. I have 60 days without placing a bet. I tried to become a professional poker player, like you see of TV. That did not work. I am many thousands of dollars in debt. I live on a small fixed income and have no way to pay off all the loans I took out. The Gamblers Anonymous 12 step program in my town is helpfull but it is small - not even one meeting a day. I qualify for Alcoholics Anonymous and have been using that program to help fill all the time I used to spend at the local casino. I played no lmit texas holdem every night for almost a year, winning and losing many thousands of dollars.

I wish to get in touch with others in recovery from this problem here. Thank you.

P.S. I used to present at the APA with John Grohol in the mid 90's- I am very pleased he kept this fourm alive all these years.
