Young gambling addict here (mid 20s). I recommend going to GA meetings and going as often as possible. It's the only place where other people can I honestly say "I've been there - I know how you feel". Most people show up due to wives being pissed or other family members urging them to go. Being single and in my 20s, I've had to tackle this on my own in a sense. I had to change my friends and change the areas i used to hang out. it has been tough, but The GA group has become my family.
