We agree that someone presents besides the addicted person to gambling is important. That helps the addicted person to realize that he doesn't fight alone to solve his gambling addiction. He will see that together, he can cure the addiction and become a new person who can overcome the gambling addiction. Maybe it is not easy but with someone or more people besides him, he will realize that his people still care about him and support him to cure his matter.
Regular effort from those people will be very important because if the addicted is being left alone were he could have access to his phone he might be attracted to gamble so that he would satisfy the feeling at that moment but if other persons presents is always with him even if the addicted has the phone his conscience will not allow him because he would be very courageous and also no that those people beside him has Left activities that could have financially helped them to come and assist him recover so actually is a lot smoother and easier to heal under the watch of people beside you than healing alone because alone is much harder and ups and downs because the person might snap out today and snap in the following days because of vulnerability.
