Did I miss something in your story?

Where is help available?
I have a problem.........I get greedy when I win a 'little'............I want the 'big one', this leads to uncontolled spending trying to get more. Eventually, I'll stop, after several hundred dollars have 'gone in and nothings come out'. I came to Utah 2 months ago, I've lost $2500+ at Wendover on 4 visits, just a thousand this past weekend. I don't want to gamble, I just want to be entertained. I go there, because it's an adult enviornment and I can smoke in public.

I decided after this last loss, I need a group with the same problem and actively helping each other overcome their weakness and temptation.

I looked on the internet (found this article) and see a group in St. George and one in SLC at the VA. I'm in Alpine visiting my family and searching for my own place in or around American Fork. What is available in this area for people who need help with their compulsive behavior when it comes to casinos. I NEED HELP.........IS THERE ANY AVAILABLE...........??????
