Gam-Anon suggested points 1-5

This is the first of a four part posting on the 20 suggested points for Gam-Anon members. 

1. Accept and learn to live with the fact that compulsive gambling is an illness that cannot be cured, only arrested.
2. Please do not repeat anything you hear in the room to anyone.  What you hear there, who you see there, let it stay there.
3. During the Gam-Anon meeting suggestions should be given and received with an open mind.
4. Attend meetings regularly and make use of the telephone and e-mail during the week.
5. To interrogate the gambler will serve no purpose.  If the gambler wishes to hide the truth, interrogation will prove pointless.

 As always, thank you family members for your support!
