Sorry i haven’t got back to you, i couldn’t work out how to reply then realised i cant on the mobile site.
I work shifts and have been unable to be online for the live chat but i will as soon as i am able. Thank you for your advice, i do have a support network to help me so i do not feel the strain of gambling luckily.
As for my boyfriend he is doing well, he had a overdraft and did not want to tell me incase i was upset but now he has admitted it to me and i am very proud (and I’ve told him) that he found the courage. Independently he has looked at helplines but is nervous to begin this process, i will maybe direct him to this site as online may be easier for him.
I am also trying to get him to see what triggers gambling and to reduce that. I think he really wants to change and break the habit now so we are at a good stage, but i know this is crucial and it wont just happen overnight. He has never decided to approach help alone before.
I am setting little goals (like deleting online accounts) with dates for it to be done by to make it more manageable. Are there any other suggestions I can to do to make this easier for him?
Thank you
