It's not my area of specialty so you need to see a counselor that specializes in gambling addiction. Many "addictions" have commonalities to them, for example the activity can often increase dopamine levels, causing a pleasurable experience or a rush feeling. You need to see a professional to see if you have another, untreated, mental health diagnosis such as depression. If that is the case you will have to address both your depression and your gambling addiction. I wish you the best.

Three main ways exist to treat gambling problems, including psychotherapy, medication and support groups. Cognitive behavioral therapy and behavior therapy help a person identify thought patterns that lead to and support a gambling problem, and replace them with healthier beliefs.
