Thank you Velvet for your warm welcome it was very much needed. You are right, in the group talk it is so much easier to explain and you are much more understood. I agree with what you said there and I’m glad all of people in the group expressed the same thought about it.
I have made changes to this thread just in case. My CG is doing quite alright at the moment. He hasn’t played for at least 2 weeks and I can see a little improvement in his behaviour. He has made himself occupied with lots of different activities, something he likes to do. I can see he is looking to pass his time, he goes out to his mum, rings his sisters and many different things to keep him busy. He is communicating with me much better, explains things to me politely and involves me in some of the things he does. I am not going over exited to things he tells me or asks for recommendation. I listen and advice if he wants me to, I do show him that I am interested in it. But don’t want to put all my heart in it yet cuz I’ve done that many times when I involved all myself in something he was doing and because of gambling he left it and I was left on my own to deal with it. So for now I am taking small steps and being very careful. I can see improvement. He hasn’t asked for money, he reduced talking about changing all payments to his account. I hope he will take small steps at a time like me. I did mention this website to him but heard excuses so for now I will try not to pressure him. Never know he might read in here…we don’t talk about gambling for now, I don’t mention it, I don’t blame him for wasting so much money and life. I thought maybe that way will be better. He said he is happy he didn’t play for so long and I really hope he will keep it up. I’m still unsure if to keep myself a bit of a distance to his life just in case. Can’t stop thinking what if he starts again…it’s an awful feeling.
