Gamblers Anonymous is a free, peer-led fellowship for anyone whose gambling has become a problem. It runs across the UK with no fees, no referrals, and no requirement to have stopped before you attend. The only thing asked is a desire to stop gambling.
A meeting lasts about an hour. A member chairs it, reads a short opening, and people share from their own experience of gambling and recovery. You will not be called on, and you can simply listen. What is said in the room stays in the room.
GA meetings in the UK are held in person, online over Zoom, and as hybrids. Groups vary in size and feel, so trying a couple is the usual way to find the right one.

No. You do not need to have stopped before your first meeting. Many people attend while still in the middle of the problem. The only requirement is a desire to stop.
The programme references a higher power, which each member defines for themselves. Many members are not religious, and atheists and agnostics are common in the rooms. The spiritual aspect is about seeking help outside of yourself, not about any particular religion.
