A. Answer: This might be the exact reason why a support group can be effective. You are likely to come into contact with other people who have “relapsed” or know people who have “relapsed” many times over and over again before eventually gaining control. You may also learn of ways to attack or deal with an addiction that you had never heard of before, or offer experience, strength, and hope to others who are also struggling in their efforts to gain control over their addiction.Please join us at addictsupport.com, so that you can share your experience, learn from others, and be a member of this group dedicated to the understanding and support of the addicted individual. Should only one person benefit from your membership, your efforts and presence in the group will be nothing less than priceless.

I have just joined gamblers annonymous, and most of the ppl. in my group have been thru rehab for gamblers.I have only been to 2 meetings so far,but I'm not sure this is going to work for me,and I am thinking maybe I should consider serious treatment, I have a love /hate relationship going on here. I can't even remember life before my gambling took over.
