FOR COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES
Compulsive gambling is a
treatable disease... not a disgrace.
It is a PROGRESSIVE disease
that CAN be arrested.
HELP IS AVAILABLE!
In the grip of their disease, compulsive gamblers feel
trapped and helpless. They often make promises -- to themselves and
others -- that they will stop. But they continue to gamble. Will power
alone doesn't work.
But 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. They may have legal issues. These problems may seem overwhelming.
But 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 from certified counselors who understand this addiction. There is also the 12 step program of Gamblers Anonymous for continued support. Through these resources, compulsive gamblers can return to a normal life.
Arizona Council on Compulsive Gambling (ACCG), a nonprofit and charitable organization, is not in the treatment business and does not receive any proceeds from referrals. We simply care about gamblers and their families.
