Gamblers Aonymous Fellowship
To feel different from others in the negative way is the worst thing that anyone would like to experience. Addiction gambling is generated in the mind of each gambler, that's why it's hard to detect, hard to cure and even harder to confess.
That's why different national gambling councils and organizations try to do the best in order to help both the gambler and his/her family, which is very suffering. To be in the group of the same gamblers, as you are, to listen to the same problems and remorse, that you have, is the best way to addiction identification and right treatment.
