Self-Help Support Groups

Self-help is considered a critical part of the recovery process for gambling disorders. Self-help groups can assist callers and provide the tools and strategies for recovery by providing support, direction, motivation, resources, and a sense that they are not dealing with the gambling problem alone. An essential aspect of many self-help programs is the utilization of a sponsor. Sponsors frequently provide additional information, encouragement, fellowship, and guidance to newcomers on a voluntary basis. They may also furnish assistance and offer suggestions to newcomers on a case-by-case basis.

The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling (FCCG) provides resource referrals for both in-person and virtual meetings, for a wide variety of Self-Help Support Groups.
