That is a very, very wise and responsible thing to do. Most people suck at accountability, especially with regards to something as selfish as addiction. I do. It has to be very serious accountability, with strict consequences, before it affects my behavior.
My mother is a gambler. I have always disliked it. She dealt with it by becoming a card dealer, go figure (still feeds the fire, but doesn't cost money and is a little less self-destructive since it's actually a job). I know what you mean about staying the hell away from it.
