We have worked out our method to help people over time. We had ideas 5 years ago, and I have talked with 100s of addicts since then. Every time you learn something new. The biggest challenge we face is lack of motivation. Our members are often depressed, and I remember a time when I was depressed. You simply don't care about anything then. How do you motivate someone who has no motivation or energy? This is a topic I want to explore and find a solution to.
I clearly understand, the case of depression takes away every sense of reasoning in someone. Motivation is another ball game entirely, but Motivation and Depression don't work together, so I understand clearly what you are facing and the challenges associated with limited funds is always the case when coming up with solutions.
The gambling industries are making money off addictions hence, might not really give you attention when you approach them.
