Sharing stories of our addiction and recovery are vital for those in all stages of recovery: newcomers and old-timers alike. And, speaking about compulsive gambling and recovery brings awareness to the public at large.
The 12th Step of our Recovery Program states:
“Having made an effort to practice these principles in all our affairs, we tried to carry this message to other compulsive gamblers.”
GA members carry the message by speaking at treatment centers, colleges, universities, prisons, churches, and many other facilities. Not only are we eager to speak with those that think they may have a gambling problem, we are also pleased to speak with professionals and service providers.
To request someone to speak at your organization, please call our hotline at 888-502-5610. Press inquiries may also be directed to that number.
And, if you are an active member of Gamblers Anonymous and would like to share your experience, strength, and hope, contact the PR Committee! We’ll be delighted to add you into the rotation of speakers, answer any questions you may have, and support you in your story sharing efforts.
