Hi Boo,
You are certainly not alone and you have made a good start by visiting this forum. There are many who are in and who are in the position you are in.
I am a compulsive gambler and I'm just working on my first post after reading through lots of other posts on here, you will get great moral support and will not be judged.
It is not going to be an easy journey and I start my journey today too, so we can ride together if you like! Good luck!
