Gam-Anon is a fellowship for spouses, family members, and friends affected by another person's gambling problem. Compulsive gambling can create financial stress, secrecy, broken trust, and emotional strain throughout a household. Gam-Anon gives affected loved ones a place to seek support without requiring the person who gambles to attend or change their behavior.
Members share experiences and use the Twelve Step approach to focus on their own recovery and well-being. Meetings can help people explore boundaries, cope with uncertainty, and connect with others who understand the impact of gambling on relationships and family life. The fellowship is intended for the affected loved ones themselves, rather than as a treatment program for the person gambling.
