Faith and Gambling Recovery Support

Submitted by Angieboss Wed 03/10/2010

In keeping with the theme of National Problem Gambling Awareness Week, I am sharing some resources connected to problem gambling. Several of them are faith-based, though not all of them are my cup of tea. However, they may work for you. If you know of others, please let me know so I can share:

The self-help organization of Gam-Anon is a life saving instrument for the spouse, family or close friends of compulsive gamblers. Gam-Anon's purposes are three-fold: To learn acceptance and understanding of the gambling illness; to use the program and its problem solving suggestions as aids in rebuilding our lives and, upon our own recovery, to give assistance to those who suffer.
