INFINITE REGRESS-Possible or NOT

I read a lot about infinite regress, my problem is how to deal with the problem of infinite regress with a Theist. They will assert that infinite regress is not possible so we need to invoke a GOD. how should I refute this?
I know that Actual Infinity is not possible and Infinity is a concept. Hence, should I tell that infinite regress is Possible, so we cant invoke God. I mean what is our (athiest) position on infinite regress - is infinite regress possible, so there will be infinite Gods of gods, or its not possible as the theist claims. I m confused.
