Someone I love dearly has a gambling addiction. [View all]

She has attended GA meetings but her work schedule limits when she can attend meetings. When she does attend one person dominates the meeting. It isn't helpful at all.

The public library has selfhelp books about every addiction but not gambling.

She is asking me where to turn. I am out of ideas.

Does anyone here know of online resources or zoom meetings that address gambling addiction?
