Tony talks about recovery in Gamblers Anonymous, from gambling on poker machines.  He also talks about difficulties gambling presents and its impact on personal relationships with partners, parents, siblings, and social and work friends both during active gambling and after gambling stops. Tony talks candidly about gambling to escape from the pressure of close relationships and how embracing the Gamblers Anonymous approach enabled him to address his real problems.

If you’re having trouble with gambling, or have a friend or family member that does, then maybe Gamblers Anonymous could help – phone (03) 9696 6108 or visit their website gaaustralia.org.au for information and to see a list of local meetings.

If you are a partner, family member or friend of someone with a gambling problem you may find the help you need with a GAM-ANON group. The GA website has a link to their website and contact details: gaaustralia.org.au/gam-anon
