Free, every Monday
You do not have to do this alone
Gamblers Anonymous is what got me out. I host an open meeting on Zoom every Monday night, and it is the first thing I would point you towards.

What to expect
Four things worth knowing before you join
Most people spend weeks deciding whether to click that link. Here is what is actually on the other side of it.
Nobody makes you talk
Join, keep your camera off, say nothing at all, leave when it ends. Plenty of people do exactly that for weeks before they speak.
It is not a lecture
People share what happened, what changed, and what they are struggling with this week. There is no curriculum and no homework.
You do not have to be ready to quit
If you placed a bet an hour ago you are still welcome. I have heard worse in that room from people who are years clean now.
Nothing is sold to you
It is free and it always will be. No upsell, no pitch, and I do not add you to anything for turning up.
Not sure whether you have a problem?
Gamblers Anonymous asks twenty questions. Most compulsive gamblers answer yes to seven or more. It takes two minutes and nobody sees your answers.
