Default I have a gambling problem

Not sure what to do. I played poker for a living before my accident. Like won a lot, over 400k but ended blowing through it all in my late 20s. Then i got in a car accident and have had pcs for 3 years.

Basically feel like crap every day and I think I use gambling as an outlet to forget about my head. I won a poker tourney last year for a large sum of $. Then I started doing fantasy sports and won a bunch more. At my peak I qualified for national fantasy championship for nba in Vegas and was playing for $1million. I didn't place and since then I've been chasing that huge score.
And I've had large downswings but still up a lot.

I see I'm on a similar path to before but i kind of don't care because my life is so hard and the high of winning large sums makes me forgot for a second. The lows are Superbad because of my pcs. I have a family and I believe I do have a skill set for what I do. The problem is I can't control the amount I wager. Any tips for overcoming this? Gambling addiction and head injury is just a really bad combo.
