FOR COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES
Compulsive gambling is a diagnosable & treatable disease... not a disgrace.
It is a PROGRESSIVE disease
that CAN be arrested .
THERE IS HELP
Compulsive gamblers, in the grip of this disease, feel trapped and helpless. They often make promises to themselves and to others to stop gambling - yet they will continue to gamble. Willpower alone has proven ineffective to stop gambling. There is hope!
Many compulsive gamblers ask for help only after they have exhausted all means to stay "in action." In many cases they will have lost their home, business, family, friends, self esteem and have created legal problems along the way. These problems may seem overwhelming. There is help!
They can stop gambling, regain their self-esteem and, once again, earn the trust and love of family and friends. Treatment is available by trained and certified counselors who understand this addiction. There is also the twelve step program of Gamblers Anonymous for continued support. Compulsive gamblers can return to a normal life.
The Arizona Council on Compulsive Gambling, Inc. (ACCG) is not in the treatment business, nor receives any proceeds from referrals. We are here because we care about the gamblers and their families who still suffer. Call the ACCG,- a nonprofit and charitable organization.
