hard to know because not sure of situation. But I have a support group here of friends that know where I am coming from, have experienced addiction, and are on the same journey, thats my support for my addiction. Whereas my family and friends support me, but not my addiction because they don't understand it. I have given them specific things that will help me, like looking after my debit cards, credit cards, not talking about gambling, so they can help me in that way. For non addicts to help with the whole addiction thing is a big ask, it is such a crazy disease, sometimes the things they say are counterproductive not through malice but because they have don't understand whats going on. I guess what I am saying is you may need to get certain types of support from different people in your life. And you may have to be clear how they can help you so they don't feel they have to take on all the issues, maybe this friend just needs to be a friend on non gambling issues, we still need that in our lives. Because we are more than our addiction. be well, stay strong hugs
