We live in England, and my partner has tried a number of different counselling solutions but he says talking therapy doesn’t work for him. We’ve waited 7 months for psychological counselling through the NHS but it’s taking a very long time.

The ideal solution would be for him to spend time at a rehabilitation centre, but because of the debt caused by his addiction we don’t have the money for that and he can’t afford to take time off work.

I’m hoping these barriers will at least go a way towards stopping him having the ability to gamble.

Thank you for your thoughts, that’s so helpful.

We’ve previously tried me taking control of all of his money, which didn’t work because he became resentful and felt like he was being treated like a child. So I guess, like you said, this is a way of him to retain control but still be accountable.

It’s really good to know this is something that might actually work if we stick to it.
