[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 606083, member: 15473"] Would it be possible for difficult child to bring up to his coach that he is more than willing to attend therapy for gambling but that due to his recent experiences with the Anonymous group he is uncomfortable continuing there? This way it doesn't look like he is trying to dodge the treatment but that he is aware of what is and is not productive for him? I mean honestly he has one sponsor who stole from him and tried to gamble online on his phone then got busted for gambling himself. The second sponsor is demanding he attend alcoholics anonymous simply because it is the sponsor's second addiction. Two strikes against them in such a short time is pretty bad. Plus he could have his therapist send a letter stating that he has been taught redirection and that attending constant meetings with untrained professionals is causing difficult child to have problems redirecting. The goal is to keep difficult child on the straight and narrow and to learn who and who not to associate with. in my humble opinion these people and their program are the opposite of what he needs and could actually cause a relapse.
