ESCAPE GAMBLERS AND THE G.A. COMBO BOOK
When some escape gamblers go to G.A. for the first time without any understanding of how their experience differs from the action gamblers, they may read the yellow combo book, the book that is read at most G.A. meetings and is most people's introduction to the program, and wonder if they are in the right place.
Many escape gamblers may not identify with dream world of the "action" compulsive gambler. (pages 10 & 11).
It is the opinion of this author that the twelve-step program of G.A. is vital if one is to obtain long term abstinence and recovery from compulsive gambling.
