What is an anonymous player?

Gamblers Anonymous® (GA) is an international organization dedicated to helping addicts to leave gambling and regain their lives. Like alcoholics anonymous® Gamblers anonymous®, it is governed by a 12-step program to obtain addicts to admit that they have a problem, and emphasizes group therapy as a means of support and positive strengthening. Many people with a gambling problem attributed Gamblers Anonymous® to help them break the gaming addiction cycle. Compulsive players are looking for a rush that they get out of money, even when they lose. This behavior pattern can be controlled by control because the player devotes more time and resources to attempt to back the loss. Such addiction can financially destroy the person and his family until the gambling player has requested help. Normative players can also become victims of other addictions such as drug and alcohol abuse.

Gamblers Anonymous® organized his first meeting in 1957 in Los Angeles, California. Since 2011 there have been a chapterY in all 50 US countries and more than 55 countries around the world. Many states have meetings seven days a week and GA offers local and national hotlic players to call if they need someone to speak. GA meetings are divided into closed meetings that are open only to those who have addiction to gambling and open meetings that can be attended by spouses and other family members.

The

Gamblers Anonymous® program is modeled after the Alcoholics Anonymous® program and shares many of the same features. The base of GA is a 12-step program that should follow to work on recovery. The steps begin with an addict that admits that he has a problem and is looking for instructions from force majeure to control his behavior. The player should then try to change to those who were damaged addiction and try to help others with the same problem. While the program supports a certain degree of spirituality, is open to peopleM of all vortex and atheists and is not considered a religious organization.

In practice, Gamblers Anonymous® consists of group meetings in which recovering players offer each other support and management. GA places great emphasis on solving the financial problems created by its members. While the non-compulsive families are not welcomed at closed meetings, GA offers Gam-Anon and Gam-A-Teen to support children and spouses who are also welcome at open meetings in the main organization.
