He deleted the online apps and but I asked to see his bank account details yesterday. He did the usual avoiding but then showed me. He has been spending hundreds. He said he will get help but I'm not sure I let him off too easy.  <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Leanne</strong> :  I've been awake since 4am worrying and reading up on the addiction. I just don't know what to do.<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Kevin W.</strong> :  Sorry to hear that , I can understand your frustration and disappointment as I’m a compulsive gambler too now in recovery and I done the same thing to my partner , it is a powerful addiction and will only get worse unless the gambler accepts the help available and wants to stop , there are meetings available for your husband and I could try talk to him if he’s willing to give it a go , I can also put you in touch with our sister fellowship that supports families/ friends affected by the gamblers <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Kevin W.</strong> :  I can give you my number for him to reach out or if you need some support I can sort that out too if you wish <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Kevin W.</strong> :  07818808117<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Leanne</strong> :  Hi Kevin, that would be amazing. I have family in recovery through the AA but gambling is a whole other ball game. I will pass your number to him in the hope that he is serious about getting help to stop. I will sit with my feeling for a few days and if I'm not coping I will go to a support group. I've just gave him the number, he's just woke up and asking why I'm still awake. He said he will give you a call. Thank you Kevin, I really appreciate your help. 🙏<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Leanne</strong> :  His name is John BTW, hopefully he calls you in a little while.🤞<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Kevin W.</strong> :  That’s great your husband is gonna try get the help he needs … you take care too and feel free to contact me if you need any further help / advice <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Kevin W.</strong> :  I’ll be going to my football at 8:30 am and finished around midday, if I miss his call I can call him straight back <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Kevin W.</strong> :  <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Leanne</strong> :  He will be working from 9 till 12 so will call you after 12.
