Gamblers Anonymous wants to make it clear that they're not trying to get more people to join. They want to point out that for some folks, gambling can be a serious problem called "compulsive gambling." Gamblers Anonymous says there's a way to beat this problem, and it's through their program.
Lots of people in Gamblers Anonymous used to have the same issue but got better by quitting gambling and living a regular life. These people are here to support anyone who comes to Gamblers Anonymous for help.
