Gam-Anon suggested points 6-10

This is the second of a four part posting on the 20 suggested points for Gam-Anon members. 

6.  To nag the gambler about past losses or to talk of what might have been will prove detrimental to both the gambler's and your recovery.
7.  It is not recommended that the Gam-Anon member go to work specifically to cover the gambling debts.  Restitution is the responsibility of the gambler.
8.  The gambler, not the Gam-Anon member, should be responsible for calling the gambler's creditors to make restitution.  Don't take this responsibility from the gambler.
9.  It is strongly suggested that NO ONE finance, sign for or consolidate the gambler's debts.  Experience has taught us that it is not helpful to borrow money to cover the gambling debts whether or not the gambler is in GA.  Discourage friends and family from lending the gambler money.
10.  The gambler's gambling debts were not incurred over a short period of time, therefore, don't be discouraged if the gambler finds it necessary to pay back small amounts of monies over an extended period.  Normal family expenses must come first.

As always, thank you family members for your support!
