To all Gamblers Anonymous members, particularly
the new Gamblers Anonymous members:

1. Attend as many meetings as possible, but at least one full meeting per week.  Meetings Make It.  Click Here to View The Meetings Schedule

2. Telephone other members as often as possible between meetings.  Use The Telephone List.

3. Don't test or tempt yourself.  Don't associate with acquaintances who gamble.  Don't go in or near gambling establishments.  Don't Gamble For Anything.  This includes the stock market, commodities, options, buying or playing lottery tickets, raffle tickets, flipping a coin or entering the office sport pool.

4. Live the Gamblers Anonymous Program One Day At A Time.  Don't try to solve all your problems at once.

5. Read the Recovery and Unity steps often and continuously review the Twenty Questions.  Follow the steps in your daily affairs.  These steps are the basis for the entire Gamblers Anonymous Program and practicing them is the key to your growth.  If you have any questions, ask them of your Trusted Servants and Sponsors.

6. When you are ready, the Trusted Servants will conduct a Pressure Relief Group meeting, or re-evaluate for you and your spouse (if married), and adherence to it will aid in your recovery.

7. Be patient!  The days and weeks will pass soon enough, and as you continue to attend meetings and abstain from gambling your recovery will really accelerate.
