Gamblers in Recovery was borne out of the need to support compulsive gamblers and their family and friends who are no longer able to attend face-to-face meetings during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our current mission is to provide a resource in finding online meetings efficiently. Additionally, since many of the traditional conventions that recovering gamblers attend have been cancelled for the immediate future, our group decided that an online convention with speakers, workshops and virtual meetings could be an additional vehicle for compulsive gamblers to get support and connect worldwide.

We also intend to host an archive and be a resource for audio recordings of speakers and workshops, and a repository for historical documents for many years to come.

We have no interest in replacing or being in conflict with any of the great organizations that currently support compulsive gamblers and their family and friends. Our goal is to supplement the great work that worldwide programs already achieve.

The funds we raise will be used to create and develop our website. The website will be the starting point for our June 27, 2020 worldwide convention:

"International Unity Convention for Compulsive Gamblers and their Families and Friends"

It will also be a resource for recovering gamblers and their families and friends to find current and upcoming virtual meetings throughout the world as well as a repository for audio recordings of speakers and workshops.

The monies raised will also be used to pay for the expenses of the convention and create an allocated reserve for website maintenance costs for the next few years.

THIS CONVENTION IS ABSOLUTELY FREE FOR EVERYONE TO ATTEND
