Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope to solve their common problem of compulsive gambling. The organization emphasizes the importance of admitting the problem, practicing spiritual principles, and carrying the message of hope to others. It was founded in 1957 in Los Angeles, California, and has since grown globally. The organization does not affiliate with any sect, denomination, or political group and maintains a neutral stance on causes. Its primary purpose is to help individuals recover from gambling addiction and prevent relapse through regular meetings and support networks.

Additional Information:

The organization promotes character change, honesty, humility, and generosity as part of its recovery principles. It also offers resources such as pamphlets and hotlines to assist those in need. The organization is accessible to residents in Louisa County, VA, and surrounding areas through local meetings and support services.
