My husband has recently admitted to having a gambling problem, the situation is pretty bad but he’s not very good at talking.
He’s taken the online questionnaire & scored high in all 4 areas and agreed to set some online goals for himself.
I don’t feel this is enough though, what are your thoughts please?
If he's addicted the measures he has in place isn't enough. He needs to block and restrict his accounts and register with GamStop. I would seek professional help with national gambling helpline before it gets worse. Gambling is supposed to be a once in a while thing you enjoy and have a healthy view of. The reason we are all here on this forum is because us problem gamblers have an unhealthy relationship with it and exhibit destructive behaviour.
Go to a physical GA meeting that's the best start for him aswell as the above!Â
I started with goals on here and made it a religious part of my day to come on in the morning and fill out the review for the day, it’s helped me put my mind set for the day. Also blocking all sites with your internet provider and mobile carrier is a great way to stop. This might not help you but it helped myself and I’ve not thought or cared about gambling for over two weeks nowÂ
