Gambling Addiction

My boyfriend has a history of gambling bad. It began as a teenager and has continued into adulthood. He went bankrupt b / c of it, but works very hard to get his life back together.

Other than its dependence on the past, it is the perfect guy. It is so nice, attentive, really wants a family and everything.

However, I am worried after getting some money again, it will start to play. I really want to break his addiction. We want to take an active part in the next 2 years.

I do not want a relationship with him if he starts playing again. I want to ask for advice or something.

Which means I can do to get some help from good quality?

Sorry to read about your problem, you have my sympathy.

However, after having been all my life, playing and wasting money in the hope of something.

IF you really want them both to later in life then its down to you ........... especially be hard for you both.

It will weaken at times, but you need to know and understand and support.

Counselling works for some people perhaps.

Good quality of aid will come from strength, you can share together.

The game usually hides an underlying unhappiness somewhere, perhaps back in his past.

much talk together, find the root cause of her addiction, work, and try not to let her access to money to play with.

Only time will tell the outcome, GOOD LUCK.

They have groups for that, as with drugs and alcohol. Look it up.

Never expect a potential partner for change. He will always have this problem, to one degree or another. You have to adjust your life to meet his faults. I propose separate bank accounts and clear expectation of what the expenditure of each is responsible. Plan for the worst case scenerio, and everything else is a bonus.

There is no one without any problem and you're a wonderful girl to try to get him some help! Try to get him into some kind of advice, if you can, and if not, there are videos to your local library dependencies on the game Good luck.

They can help and they can help you.

At the same time, make him make a promise to himself each morning: I will not play TODAY.

This is his best chance. Many people have a lot of this dependency and you can not help it. He needs to talk to others who have the same problem, he can relate to. I'm sure you can find a group in your area.

However, it is to admit he has a problem and wants to remedy. If you try to force it, it could sink into it further. That is the nature of an addict. Whether it be alcohol, drugs or something. All you can do is show him the path. I would like to make a first call and see if you can find someone in the group is ready to take it and take him to a meeting.

I wish you good luck and I hope it works for you and for him.
