Gamblers Anonymous Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from a gambling problem. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop gambling. There are no dues or fees for Gamblers Anonymous membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. Gamblers Anonymous is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause. Our primary purpose is to stop gambling and to help other compulsive gamblers do the same. Most of us have been unwilling to admit we were real problem gamblers. No one likes to think they are different from their fellow. Therefore, it is not surprising that our gambling careers have been characterized by countless vain attempts to prove we could gamble like other people. The idea that somehow, someday, we will control our gambling is the great obsession of every compulsive gambler. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many

June 2000 Compulsive Gambling Advisory Committee Update By Pastor T. Lance Holthusen, Chair MN Department of Human Services, Advisory Committee on Compulsive Gambling As you read this article, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) Advisory Committee on Compulsive Gambling is busy working on its vision and comprehensive plan for the next several years. Both Michael O'Keefe, the DHS commissioner, and several legislators have charged this Advisory Committee with becoming much more deliberate in meeting the needs of those challenged by compulsive and addictive gambling behaviors. The Advisory Committee is made up of consumers, providers of counseling and treatment services, and research and education entities, as well as concerned others from around the state of Minnesota. We are very pleased with the breadth of representation on our Committee and the support staff appointed by the Minnesota DHS. The Committee has formed three working groups to help accomplish its task: access to treatment, research and public awareness and education. For the first two-year-phase of our plan, which coincides with the next State Funding Biennium, our first deadline is to submit our plan and budget in early June for the DHS planning retreat in preparation for the next legislative session. One of the special areas of interest that we have for this phase is multi-diagnosis efforts related to research, access to treatment, and public awareness and education. Experience shows that very seldom does a person suffer from only one addiction or compulsive behavioral problem.

Problem gambling refers to any gambling that goes beyond "normal" bounds of gambling for fun, recreation, or entertainment. Pathological gambling is the inability, over an extended period of time, to resist impulses to gamble. It is often characterized by increasing preoccupation with gambling and a general loss of control. Pathological gamblers often "chase" their losses, feel a need to bet more frequently and in larger amounts, and continue to gamble in spite of the serious negative consequences of their behavior. Are pathological gambling and compulsive gambling the same thing? Yes. Most scientists and mental health professionals prefer the term "pathological gambling" as the condition is not believed to be related to "compulsions" like excessive hand-washing. The term "disordered gambling" has often been used to describe this condition.

Security Concerns Becoming a Compulsive Gambler Treatment ... Observable Workplace Behaviors What Is Compulsive Gambling? Moderate gambling, like moderate alcohol use, is an accepted part of our culture and causes no problems. As with alcohol use, however, gambling to excess is a common weakness that may lead to serious security problems. Compulsive gambling, or pathological gambling as most psychiatrists prefer to call it, is an inability to stop gambling even when one recognizes that gambling is causing serious financial, family, work, or other problems. Compulsive gambling parallels alcohol and drug addiction in many ways. Compulsive gamblers lose control over their behavior and commonly lie and cheat in order to continue their gambling. They frequently try, unsuccessfully, to cut down or quit. Compulsive gambling does not involve use of a psychoactive substance, but the "action" which compulsive gamblers crave is an aroused, euphoric state comparable to the "high" sought by drug users. This aroused state is accompanied by changes in brain chemistry similar to those caused by alcohol or drugs. There may be a "rush," often characterized by sweaty palms, rapid heart beat, and nausea which is experienced during the period of anticipation.

How to Tell If Gambling is a Problem One of the biggest problems related to gambling and other compulsive and addictive behaviors is that the person with the problem tends to be the last one to see it. You probably picked up this brochure because you wondered either about your own gambling or the gambling habits of someone you care about. We're glad you had the courage to do so, and we hope the following information will increase your understanding of this problem area. What is Gambling? Risking money or valuables in hopes of winning more than you're risking is gambling. Calling it a "friendly bet," or a "gentleman's bet," or saying "We're just making the game a little more interesting" does not alter the fact that it is still gambling. Gambling can include buying instant lottery tickets, playing the on-line or video lottery games, playing cards, dice, or dominoes, playing in casinos, playing slot machines, betting on sporting events (with or without a bookie), betting on the horses or greyhounds, betting on games of skill (bowling, pool, golf, video or arcade games), and many other activities.

Alternative Names: Gambling - compulsive; Pathological gambling; Addictive gambling Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Pathological gambling affects 1-3% of adults, men more often than women. It usually begins in adolescence in men and later in women. This behavior usually progresses from occasional gambling to habitual gambling. The urge to gamble becomes so great that the tension can only be relieved by more gambling. Higher stakes and personal risks become involved, as well as neglect of other interests, family, and work. Severe family problems, financial ruin, and criminal behavior to support the gambling habit may result. The cause for this behavior is not known. One risk factor may be excessive alcohol use which lowers inhibitions and impairs judgment.
