Hi Nm
Your boyfriend has done well getting positive responses to the people he owes money to and I am pleased to hear he is returning to work.
Testing his gambling addiction by watching the sport he gambled on ‘could’ mean that he has not been fully accepted his addiction. If I was in your situation I would tell my CG that I wanted to be relaxed and not worry about him watching sport but because it was the trigger for his problem I am concerned – would he therefore consider putting his thoughts about what he is doing to either the rehab he has been in, or to the Helpline here to set your mind at rest. In other words, would he help you understand? I asked my CG to help me when he left rehab because I didn’t know what I should or should not be doing or saying to support him and I wanted to get it right. Like you, my CG told me not to worry but following my request he did give me pointers which made it easier for me to relax and gradually, in time I ceased to worry.
I have requested further support on this question and I will let you know more when I have it tot hand.
