Gamblers Anonymous and Gam-Anon

12-Step Programs
1. Gamblers Anonymous(GA) is a fellowship of men and women who meet regularly to share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from a gambling problem. The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop gambling. (www.gamblersanonymous.org)

Gamblers Anonymous Pressure Relief Group assists the gambler and his/her family in working through their financial, legal, employment and personal problems. This group also aids members in establishing repayment schedules and obtaining cooperation from creditors, financial institutions and other parties. (NOTE: The Pressure Relief Group is not available in all areas of New York State.)

A copy of the International Directory, published by Gamblers Anonymous, identifying meeting locations, times and telephone numbers for persons seeking information or help in other states or countries can be obtained through Gamblers Anonymous at 213-386-8789.
2. Gam-Anon is a fellowship of men and women from all backgrounds adversely affected by the gambler's activities (e.g. spouse or partner, child, sibling, parent, friend). Gam-Anon helps loved ones focus on learning effective ways of coping with the gambling problem. For more information about Gam-Anon, call their International Service Office at (718) 352-1671.
