I have a friend in the same situation, it's not as easy to quit as one seems to think. She ended up losing her house and like you, on the verge of losing her mate.
I suggest that you sit down with her, apologize and just talk about your problem with her, make her understand that you have a problem (if she doesn't know already). Make a committment to her that you will stop.
Give her all of your money, let her pay bills and shop together, the best thing for you to do is to not have any access to money. The two of you should set an allowance of how much gas money you should get. If you ride a bike, that's even better.
It's going to suck at the beginning, but you will figure out ways to make it better and continue living your life instead of losing everything.

maybe you cant solve your gambling problem or maybe you love it so you dont want to quit if gambling is someting you love do it but dont be dumb about it make a budget and see how much money you can put aside for gambling and then when you figure out how much it is take that money to the place you gamble dont take extra money or credit cards or anything that way if you lose it all you dont have an option you have to leave because you didnt take any extra with you also try this if you gamble on line get a seperate bank account for your gambling money if you can only budget 50 dollars then put that money on your account then use your gambling card also a lot of online casinos let you put a limit on how much you allow your self to deposit in a given time like partypoker lets you put a deposit limit ofcourse partypoker also has a casino site partycasino.com and you can deposit some money there after you set your limit use the bonus code 25usdollar and they'll give you an extra 25 to blow so take my advice and have fun

I don't know if this will help an actual addiction, but I try to remember how bad I feel in the morning after loosing a grand... Kinda like drinking.. try to not think about the rush as much as the fall later... That keeps me out of casinos...

You need to catch a wake up before you have lost all your friends and money. I was a compulsive Gambler and i have stopped completely now. Gambling is a MUGG's game and anyone with half a brain will tell you that.

Tough one. My Mother and Brother have the same problem. Have someone else control your finances until you get it under control. Try counseling and try to occupy your time with new things. Stay away from the temptation! The longer you go without it the easier it is to control.
Most important - Don't give up on yourself.

I'll bet you a thousand dollars you can't do it on your own.
Seriously, get some professional help. You know it is a problem and you know you can't do it on your own. That is half the battle. Now you just need to pull the trigger and find someone that can help you work thru it and get take your life back.

No money = Not able to gamble. Let your wife control your finances. when you get that bloody itch, take a shower, go run laps, make love to your misses, tell her you got the itch. Use your energy for something else. If you are serious, you will make it. Like nike says:
Just do it

I don't see how you can break this addiction without counseling. Try telling yourself there is a reason why all the casinos are so opulent-they were created with the money from losers. Don't be a loser anymore, get help and stick with it.
