What do you know about gambling addictions? Have you been through a similar sit?

I think the number that he was given to call called and left a message about making an appointment yesterday. I told him but he didn't want the information to call them back. I was thinking of calling them and giving them his cell phone to call but I am not sure if this is a good idea since he doesn't seem to really want help. I don't understand why he won't get help. He admits it is a problem and he doesn't have control but yet won't get help. It is so infuriating.
