My boyfriend is a compulsive gambler, we live together and as I'm sure it goes without saying it has a massive impact on our relationship and us individually in different ways. He is aware he has this problem and has had counselling through gamcare not long ago, however this finished and he has relapsed. Basically I would like to know what else is out there? I know about gamblers anonymous and that will probably be his next try, so I guess I'm asking if anyone has any experience with this? Or anything else? We also think he will benefit from separate therapy to deal with some issues from his past which may has contributed to the beginning of the problem. So any stories anyone would be willing to share in similar situations would be really appreciated.
I am also looking for support myself so if anyone has anything to share about gamanon that would also be helpful. Thankyou all.
Also I hope I have posted this in the correct topic, it was between this and mental health and I'm aware this relationships board gets a lot of traffic, so feel free to move it if not appropriate.
