This may not be practical, but if the urge gets bad, take out your ethernet cord or wireless modem or whatever and put it somewhere really, really inconvenient. Put it in a bowl, fill it with water and freeze the sucker; lock it in the trunk of your car; etc. I haven't used the trick for gambling, but it works wonders when I have other, non-internet work needing to be completed (speaking of...time to go get that bowl of ice freezing...)
 If it takes a little bit extra to get it, you'll probably wind up doing something else instead.

Two choices:
1. Gambers Annoumous 2. Write a play about it...you started out good and you might have a knack for it. Make it a play about you and horse racing and live the dream you need to keep away from.

That there is pretty good advice. Make things difficult. You and I think alike. Hey! Why take an easy way when it can be designed to be harder? I've never considered putting things in ice. Now that is really "thinking outside the box". Make things inconvenient, a new topic for my non-motivational book. I think that in that chapter, I'll include "amaze your friends with the hidden toilet paper trick", "things you learn from locking your keys in your car", and "investing with bank optons from Nigeria". Some people just try too hard. Giving up is the way to go.

Ah yes, I've learned many things about locking keys in the car. Number one being: don't call the damn AAA guy until you're 100% sure you locked them in the trunk, even if you think you looked really hard everywhere else...because odds are, they're just in the mailbox.
 Would that I had an excuse for this. I usually froze my credit card -- not because I ever exceeded the limit, but because it made me have to unfreeze it before I could buy anything online (froze it with the numbers face-down). Worked very well as a starving student, and it got me out of the habit of using the thing more than I should. Now that everyone knows how weird I am, I think I'll go to bed over here. Two more days and the celebration/WTF do I do now panic begins. (Trust me, I did have a plan. It just spontaneously combusted.)

As you can see, I'm just having fun with you. Things will work out for you...no need to panic. If things become too difficult to deal with, do like I do... Eat a whole head of cabbage fried in veg oil with onions. You'll spend the next two days sitting down, unable to think of anything, and you certainly won't have to try hard. Just make sure that your friends haven't hidden the toilet paper. Talk about combustion!

The way I see it is you have 2 choices right now.
You could call a addiction buddy , like P. Val and share your troubles till you fall asleep. Or you can make that call to CASH CALL and be broke for the next 10 years. I would just wax the car. You do still have a car? Just kidding.
