Really, really took to it. i go twice a week and the meetings and sharing really make me feel grounded and remind me why i'm there. There's a real dynamic that's sort of bumming me out a little about one room and may cut down to once per week, thinking this will help me get through. i've actually not had any real urge to gamble since 1st meeting and i hope to make it through.

Didn't care for it. Talking about it there made me want to go.

Attended my first meeting recently, second one is in 2 days. Finally having people who understand, and have been through the same feelings is such a relief. Having somewhere to release and not feel judged is amazing

My first GA meeting was prob the hardest thing I have ever done. Just after that first meeting my eyes were WIDE open.

I am thinking about returning. It was more of a peer group and I felt excluded. Scared me more than helped me.

They are very supportive, but if your spouse shows no interest in getting better and you continue to hope for a " miracle that obviously isn't going to happen", you have to learn how to take control and make the changes.......no one can do this for you

Meeting are good way to learn about what compulsive gambling is and that there our others who are recovering and have been free for years.

Have a home group

I am still new and I am off the bet 51 day as of 8/22/12. I enjoy the GA meetings so far and looking for more.

I've been to 2 meetings. My very first meeting was 5 days ago.
