Gamblers Anonymous Online

Gamblers Anonymous group is not only available online, but also in real life. They organize regular meetings internationally not only in the USA where they were first based. This is a great thing as many players across the world can get support face to face from members of this organization.

Gamblers Anonymous has but one primary purpose – to carry its message to the compulsive gambler who still suffers. We invite you to explore the pages of this website in order that it might help you or someone you know with a gambling problem. Following the closure of the physical meetings, GA San Diego created a means of communicating with other members of the Gamblers Anonymous fellowship. There are over twenty online meetings which were created for the sole purpose of connecting two or more members together during a period of uncertainty and increased anxiety.

Welcome to the New England Gamblers Anonymous website.

Update - 3/16/2020

MESSAGE FROM ROY M., CHAIR, LOS ANGELES INTERGROUP

Los Angeles Intergroup (“LAIG”) met on Sunday, March 15, 2020 and discussed how to proceed with the issue of meetings suspended because of Covid-19. There was a quorum, and after a lengthy discussion and, with the guidance of the current and past trustees present, the following items were either passed by vote or agreed upon by discussion.

1. In conjunction with Covid-19 precautions, some facilities have decided that temporary suspensions of meetings at their facilities was the best course. LAIG has decided to add a link to the LAIG website, laintergroup.com, entitled

COVID-19 LAIG UPDATES

This link will include any meetings that have been temporarily suspended due to Covid-19 issues.

2. If your meeting has been temporarily suspended, the LAIG encourages a note be placed whenever possible at the suspended meeting site stating that:

the meeting has been temporarily suspended pending further notice (optional statement may include a contact person and a way to be contacted)

3. Whenever possible, please continue to direct all members looking for a meeting to the meetings that are still open.

4. There is an Official Gamblers Anonymous telephone meeting that was originally on Wednesday Evenings ONLY. Due to this emergency situation, the Telephone Conference Call Committee of the BOT has extended this phone meeting to every night of the week from 6:00pm until 8:00pm Pacific Time.

Please see flyer from the Board of Trustees for details including phone number and access codes.

5. After conferring with the current trustees, the Intergroup voted to change the deadline for trustee ballots to the May Intergroup.

The LAIG will do its very best to keep everyone as current as possible on meeting suspensions and any other information from the Board of Trustees on the link of the LAIG website.

Please take care,

Roy M. Chairman of the LAIG

MESSAGE FROM BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Meeting Closures due to COVID-19 (coronavirus)

There is no higher priority to the Fellowship of Gamblers Anonymous than the well being of its members during this difficult time.

The Fellowship of Gamblers Anonymous is not responsible for meetings that have had to close because of the COVID-19 (coronavirus). Our ISO (International Service Office) is doing it's best to keep up with all the meeting closures throughout the world.

In an effort to help those members whose meetings have closed as a result of the COVID-19 (coronavirus), the Telephone Conference Call Committee has expanded the Wednesday night meeting to include every night of the week from 9:00-11:00 PM Eastern time. The call in information for the Wednesday night meeting is: Phone Number 712-770-4160 - Access Code 611704#.

Access Codes for all other meetings will be updated Wednesday via the Trustee Line on the Trustee website or by request using the following email telephoneconferencemeeting@gmail.com. They have also added a meeting to be held on Fridays from 3:00-4:00 PM Eastern time. Call in information will also be provided by Wednesday.

The committee has also provided an email address to any member/group looking to start a temporary phone meeting until such a time when your meeting reopens. Such meetings are for the purpose of continuity so that members can still 'attend' meetings, but would not be considered a recognized GA meeting until such a time they met all of the criteria as set forth by the Board of Trustees. The committee will also be offering several options for training webinars. That email Address is telephoneconferencemeeting@gmail.com.
