What is Expected of You?
Your role in recovery is very important
Your Role as a Person of Concern
Family is a vital component to the treatment and recovery of someone struggling with a gambling problem. However, it is equally important for you to obtain the support, treatment, and resources you need during this recovery process.
It is important for you to:
Attend self-help groups, such as
Gamblers Anonymous
Seek individual counseling or couple's counseling to help cope and process this problem
Explain problem gambling to any children in the home
Recognize your partner's good qualities
Let your partner/family member know you are seeking help for yourself due to the way gambling affects you
Take control of family finances; review bank and credit card statements
Remain calm when speaking to your partner/family member about their gambling and its consequences
Understand the need for professional help both for yourself and for the problem gambler
