Firstly, I'm sorry this is happening.

I'm in recovery myself from Drugs & Alcohol. AA was great for me.

I used to work with a woman (quite a bit younger than I at the time- probably late 30's) and she said she had gambling issues.
Unfortunately, she said she went to a GA meeting and people were talking about the things they did to get money (not illegally) to support their gambling habits. She said it ended up just giving her ideas.

Hers wasn't online gambling. She went to casinos so maybe that's completely different. Thank God I find gambling so boring (with my addictive personality - I'm lucky).

I hope your wife can get some help.
