My cousin, who is well off does't think he has a gambling addiction just because he can afford it. But it is ALL he does ALL day on a gambling site. Its ALL he talks about. He was never like this. He was always on the go. His neighbors even called him zip zip because he was in and out all day doing something or other. Weather visiting someone or errands. Now he stays home. He neglects doing most things that need to be done arpund his house. He was a very clean person. He admitted to the problem finally yesterday and said he wpuld get help. But today hes back to where he was and is in denial. He mocked me when I asked about weather he looked into mental health services. I have a feeling he admitted it so thag he didnt have to talk anymore. When I ttalked to him about it he said I was trying to change who he was. Meaning a guy who likes to gamble. I told him hes not his addiction. It really hurt to hear that. I told him that gambling has changed him. He even tries to change the subject and say Im addicted to books in a joking manner. I need help helping him.
