Always just a view. A desire to have a bet-free, happier life has to start with an initial 100 per cent commitment and self-exclusion/blocking from whatever your/mine poison of choice was/is/ is paramount - keep it simple initially in my opinion.
After a while (in your interpretation) consider counselling, GA, etc. Use the chatroom - people will know where you are coming from believe me. Take those initial steps and build.
Best wishes, Phil.
