Gam-Anon is a worldwide organization that offers a self-help recovery program for the families and friend of compulsive gamblers whether or not the gambler seeks help or even recognizes the existence of a gambling problem.

Members give and receive comfort and understanding through a mutual exchange of experiences, strength and hope. Sharing of similar problems binds individuals and groups together in a bond that is protected by a policy of anonymity.

If there is a gambling problem in your home, the Gam-Anon family group may be able to help you cope with it.
If you are living with a compulsive gambler, you will answer "YES" to at least six of the following questions.

Compulsive gambling is a symptom of an emotional illness, characterized by low self-esteem, immaturity, instability and obsessive behavior. Because compulsive gambling is an insidious and baffling illness, some adults have difficulty deciding if they were affected by compulsive gambling during childhood. The following questions may help you to determine whether compulsive gambling affected your childhood or present life.

If you answer yes to some or all of these questions, Gam-Anon may be for you. Gam-anon is a fellowship for families, relatives and close friends who live and have lived with the gambling problem. We would like you to feel that we understand as perhaps few can and that Gam-Anon can offer you a new way of life.
