GA /Gam-Anon Speakers still needed! Our stories of recovery are powerful and essential. Stories show newcomers that a beautiful new life is possible. And, stories are a way of showing family and friends of compulsive gamblers that change is possible when working a program of recovery, one day at a time. Showing others what GA has done for you will be a boost to your recovery, and all those listening, too. If you are able to volunteer or want more information contact us via: mn.ga.webweaver@gmail.com

Sharing stories of our addiction and recovery are vital for those in all stages of recovery - newcomers and old-timers alike. GA members are encouraged to speak of their personal recovery journeys, and share their experience, strength, and hope.
Choose from these excellent opportunities:
Volunteer to speak the first Saturday of each month at the St. Alban’s speaker meeting.
Volunteers are needed to speak at treatment centers. Currently we are speaking via Zoom, so no travel is required. If you have at least one year of clean time, you can speak! And, if you have less than one year, you can still speak if you bring your sponsor, or another GA member with one year of clean time, with you.

Get Involved and Be Of Service!
Gamblers Anonymous exists because thousands of recovering gamblers have given countless hours of service. Setting up rooms, leading meetings, and cleaning up after, are usually the first service roles that we perform. But as we grow in recovery, more service opportunities present themselves. Each is a way to strengthen our GA community, and a way to practice Step 12. Click here for a flyer with descriptions of several exciting and fulfilling service opportunities available.
