Although this (quit gambling) forum isn't seeing much action I'd like to share this with anyone out there struggling with addiction. It's what has worked for me but is dependant upon you being able to get the drug naltrexone;
"
The Sinclair Method is a treatment for alcoholism based on the use of opiate antagonists, such as naltrexone or nalmefene. It differs from other treatment in that patients use the drug while continuing to drink."
There's a lot of good info out there about this if you're interested you can watch a documentary about it called One Little Pill.
What it boils down to is once or twice a week I now take a pill, wait an hour and then open a beer and sit down and gamble.
Now you're thinking "that's still gambling" and it is, but due to the drug it's now a joyless affair; every time I do it now it reinforces only the negative feelings associated with gambling and drinking; anxiety, stress, fatigue, headaches, stomach upset and so on.
And so now when I think about gambling I don't get excited, instead I feel ill.
The results have been astounding for me so far especially in comparison with GA or any other methods I have tried.
Anyway hopefully this will help someone out. I always used to think "I wish i could just push a button and never gamble again" well this drug is as close to that as you'll ever get. You've just got to be brave enough to try it.
Thanks
