David A. : Hello Michelle how can i help?
Michelle : I have just found out my son of 22 is gambling and it is out of control
Michelle : Can you help
David A. : Sorry to hear this Michelle, i was just like your son before reaching out to GA and getting to meetings changed my life. I cant do it on my own and if your son is ready to stop i can help
Michelle : Is there somewhere he could go for young boys aged 22years ?
Michelle : He is afraid to go to a meeting.
David A. : Theres no specific young groups, some are younger than your son and some older but he will be in a room full of people that know exactly what compulsive gambling does and how GAcan help.
David A. : Thats understandable, most meetings would allow you to come with him for the first meeting then if hes ready after that he can attend himself and get better.
David A. : Are you still there Michelle?
David A. : Michelle im unsure if you are still active and you can see this. If you can please reach out again on chat and we can give your son the best possible chance of stopping and staying stopped. For a compulsive gambler it only gets better in GA and worse out of it.
