GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS is a fellowship of men and women who 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 a desire to stop gambling. There are no dues or fees for Gamblers Anonymous membership. We are self-supporting through our own contributions.
GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause.
OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE is to stop gambling and to help other compulsive gamblers do the same. Most of us have been unwilling to admit we were real problem gamblers. No one likes to think they are different from their fellows. Therefore, it is not surprising that our gambling careers have been characterized by countless vain attempts to prove we could gamble like other people.
The idea that somehow, some day, we will control our gambling is the great obsession of every compulsive gambler. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of prison, insanity or death.
ANSWER "HONESTLY" THE GA TWENTY QUESTIONS:
**The above questions are written in present tense for a reason.
If you are now having, or have had issues with compulsive gambling and it is causing or has caused problems in any department of your life we suggest you get to a meeting as soon as possible.

THE GA TWELVE STEPS OF RECOVERY:
Step 1. We admitted we were powerless over gambling - that our lives had become unmanageable.
Step 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to a normal way of thinking and living.
Step 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of this Power of our own understanding.
Step 4. Made a searching and fearless moral and financial inventory of ourselves.
Step 5. Admitted to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Step 6. Were entirely ready to have these defects of character removed.
Step 7. Humbly asked God (of our understanding) to remove our shortcomings.
Step 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
Step 9. Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Step 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
Step 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
Step 12. Having made an effort to practice these principles in all our affairs, we tried to carry this message to other compulsive gamblers.
