"Is it sinful to gamble, or merely to lose? I'll come back when I'm broke."--Sky Masterson, played by Marlon Brando, Guys and Dolls
I'm a fulltime poker player.
I never went to any meetings, but I've read GA literature, and it is 100% responsible for curing me of my psychological need to blow money at -EV games.
Ironically, I purchased this literature at The Gamblers Book Store in Vegas (11th and Charleston).
I think anyone who compulsively loses their money could benefit from their help. By "compulsively", I mean, you're just not happy until you've lost it all. You can't sleep after a win, but sleep like a baby after losing it all.
That's the way I was. A $2 booklet put out by GA explained to me what was going on in my subconscious to drive that need to blow my money gambling, and once I understood it, that self-destructive drive went away.
Shoot me a PM sometime, if you need anything, or to let me know how you do.
