I think my boyfriend is addicted to gambling. He plays poker several days a week (driving over an hour to reach the nearest casino) and often plays online for hours when he doesn’t go to the casino. We have moved into a new home two years ago and have a lot of renovations that my boyfriend promised to do. So far, he has only painted one room since we moved in, which I’d say is about 5% of the work that needs to be done. He owns his own business which he maintains, but doesn’t seem interested in growing it like he used to. He has hired other people to do his work and I would say he only works on his business 1-2 days per week. The rest of the time he spends at the casino. He even gets up at 4:00 a.m. sometimes to drive to the casino so he can “catch” the people that have been up all night. I am really worried that he has a problem. He lies to other people (such as his mother!) about how often he goes to the casino. It is really hurting our relationship, he even goes away to atlantic city and las vegas to play in tournaments, only giving me a day or two’s notice. He doesn’t see this as a problem because more often than not, he wins. I love him and don’t want to leave him, but I am at my witt’s end. Help!

I have a gambling problem and cannot seem to quit. I have been playing NL texas hold em poker for about a year (for money). I play at several Los Angeles casinos. I am a very good player, but that doesnt really matter in poker. Its a game of luck.

I play about 3 times a week, and occasionally online. When I win, it is always a big amount like $400 or $350. But somehow I find myself losing it all back.

I have had several day periods of when I decided to quit gambling. But sure enough, I get bored with nothing to do, and drive down to the local casino to play poker. I usually win big that first time, and once again get sucked into the game.

I am 19 (yes i play at the casinos and dont get carded) and live with my parents in Hermosa Beach. I have a steady job, about $200 a week. But i find myself losing that paycheck to gambling Every time.

What can i do to break this habit. I am learning that I need to stop this before it gets worse. Have you ever been in this situation?

Okay, so i’m young, a minor actually, living in my mother’s house. My mom is a poker dealer at a casino. She gambles right after work every single time, she makes up every excuse to gamble. (e.g. Ride isn’t there early enough.) It’s getting to the point, where our cell phone’s are about to get shut off and we barely have groceries in the house. I’m not yet old enough to get a job, and my moms boyfriend is good for nothing, as he doesn’t have a job either. She needs help, here, you can ban yourself from the casino that is located here, again, she makes up stupid excuses to not ban herself. I don’t know what to do, I need a little bit of help in this area. Thanks in advance :)
