Brian,

You sound like a strong young man, and I think you can beat this chip thing, and i'm willing to help you.
I think the best thing for you to do is go cold turkey. Send me all your chips and I will keep them for you. I have faith in you, and when you beg me to return them, I will be strong and will turn a deaf ear to all your begging.
Believe me it's the only way.

Ralph
