Help me help my husband
#2
Hi dalove27

Sorry to hear of your all too common situation.

I am a CG. i have been clean now for 15 months.

Fact ONE: Your husband has to WANT to stop. He can say he wants to stop all he likes, but if he doesn't mean it, he won't stop gambling.

Fact TWO: Do NOT balme yourself. You are in no way to blame. Often the affected relatives feel guilt about something they should have seen/could have done etc... But, I repeat, you are not to blame.

CG's are devious, clever,lying,deceitful mongrels. And yes that described me when I was gambling. I cared for no one but myself & when I could next gamble any money I had.

I am from Australia, but I do know that there are programs that you can install on your computer that will prevent entry to most gambling sites. I will send you a private message re this.

You did not mention whether your husband has sought out help. GA or the various helplines etc.
He has to want to help himself to stop. Nobody can do it for him. There is no quick fix.

Have a look for your nearest GA and GAMANON meeting.

Best wishes
Roy
