Hi Chris unfortunately you can't make him go if he chooses not to. I agree about the advertising but if a gambler has got to that point where they have realised their destruction they will see the adverts the same way we do. My husband turned off the tennis initially because too many ads. He's just over a year and can see them for what they are. i would say he would get support from others at the meeting once he has been to a few more, shows his commitment. So many come once, twice and never again, think they have the cure. Keep encouraging him to go. The World Cup makes us all edgy but to be honest if they're going to bet they will, regardless of what we say or do.
Agree with you
