No GA meetings he could go (and to be honest, I'm not sorry about that. I'm not sold that 12 step ideology would be a good fit for my difficult child), but he has had science based gambling addiction treatment and meets addiction counsellor. He has been doing surprisingly well for all this time after getting caught. He too has also of course paid back what he stole, with interest.
He too does not have access to a lot of money. His salary comes to his one account, which he doesn't have an access, only me and my husband have and we pay his rent and other bills from there. He has an other account we transfer money weekly to his daily needs. He doesn't have credit cards but has a debit card for that account. If he needs something bigger, he calls me, I transfer the money needed and he shows me a receipt later. I also has an access to the account he is using so I can see where he has made purchases. It is of course not 100 % safe system, but nothing is. It helps him to fight a urge and make opportunities to relapse less (there are also other things that has been done to help him in this), but of course it is still up to him to do a work to stay clean. he has been doing nicely, but of course you never know with addictions, what will happen tomorrow.
