Financial Impaired Professionals Minorities Seniors Women Youth 24-Hour HelpLine Self-Help Programs Professional Treatment Self-Help Programs      Self-help can be an important part of recovery from a gambling problem. These groups can assist you with tools for recovery and provide an ongoing support system from others who are dealing with or have dealt with the problems you are currently experiencing. The two primary support groups for compulsive gamblers and their loved ones are Gamblers Anonymous (GA) and Gam-Anon.      Gamblers Anonymous (GA) is a support group for compulsive gamblers - a fellowship of men and women of all ages, social and economic backgrounds, races and faiths, who meet regularly to share their experience, strength and hope. The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop gambling. There are no dues or fees for membership. GA also offers a Pressure Relief Group that assists the gambler and family members in addressing financial, legal and other problems.      Gam-Anon is for persons adversely affected by the gambler's activities (e.g. spouse or partner, parent, child, sibling, or other family member or friend). Gam-Anon assists members in understanding the gambling illness, using the program and its problem solving suggestions as aids in rebuilding your life, and upon recovery, giving assistance to others who suffer. It is not necessary for the gambler to attend Gamblers Anonymous in order for friends and loved ones to participate in the Gam-Anon program. There are no dues or fees for membership.      For more information on meeting days, times and locations, call the FCCG HelpLine at 888-ADMIT-IT.
