[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 603693, member: 14557"] difficult child has been able to go and try one meeting with both available groups (living in the country which official language you don't speak a word, or well, he did make an effort to learn numbers and some pleasantries for a first thing, but anyway, really limits your options in this) and he says other one was okayish - at least the coffee was good and most people were pleasant, but other he considered weird. Unfortunately he will have to mostly attend to group he didn't like. Other one is at their most stable game night so when season starts, he is very seldom free that night. He also said that he hasn't been thinking so much gambling in almost two years when he thought in those meetings and he had tougher time with urges after the meetings than in longest time. But he feels he can handle it, if he just keeps in mind he is in control of his gambling despite what was said in the meeting. He sounded rather level headed about the matter and that I like. I also like it that he seems to follow an advice given to him by us, his agent and his sport psychiatric to have a good start and be co-operative even if he doesn't like everything. Being petulant and passive-aggressive would not do him any favours. And he already has two meetings done. He still has time to attend one meeting of the more pleasant group before the season starts and then he will have less than 15 meetings with less pleasant group left. [/QUOTE]
