Well Jason:
If you think this is a serious addiction, I think you should get some professional help. Talk to a counsellor or a therapist - they will know how to help you get over this.
I can give you suggestions, but I'm no doctor. Better to get help from people that really know, right?
Good luck.
(P.S. I'm glad and proud of you for trying to get rid of this addiction.)

Well, Jason, like 'vy' suggested, get professional help. Gambling addictions end up taking their tole. They'll put you in debt, which will probably inflict serious stress if it's too much. Perhaps to try to help stop this addiction, use a search engine to find a poker website which doesn't use real money, where you will just play against simulated computer opponents.

and get that help before it is too late. Can you imagine your life always coming back from work and play poker for the rest of the day? Yahoo Games...there you can play any games..I am always there for Pool or Checkers yet, I have fun...dont spend money and you can chat with other players too.
