About Us

Gam-Anon Philippines is a support fellowship for those who are affected by someone else's gambling. Whether your loved one is a spouse, partner, parent, sibling, child, or friend, you are welcome here.

We understand the confusion, fear, and isolation that often come with living alongside compulsive gambling. In our group, you will find people who truly understand - because we've been there too.

Through shared experiences, guided readings, and the principles of the Twelve Steps, we offer strength, hope, and practical support. Our meetings are safe spaces where anonymity is respected, and judgment is left at the door. You are free to listen, share when you're ready, and begin healing at your own pace.

Gam-Anon Philippines is part of the global Gam-Anon fellowship and follows its core purpose: to carry its message to those affected by someone who has a gambling problem (Unity Step 5).
