The Life-Line Bulletin is a monthly newsletter for and about members of Gamblers Anonymous. It provides our members a chance to share their experience, strength and hope with each other through the Group News section; and to also see some of the important aspects that help G.A. continue to carry the message to those who still suffer. Reading the Bulletin every month is a great way to stay connected.

We are reaching out to all gamblers, especially our younger audience. We have a piece of literature specifically for young gamblers that we would like to update. Below, you will find two QR codes. One will take you to the current piece of literature, and the other will direct you to a survey where you can share your thoughts and ideas about this literature. Please ensure you are connected to Google, either by using the Chrome browser or being logged into your Google account. This survey does not require your contact information and does not reveal your identity; it only provides the content within the survey. Your assistance is greatly appreciated, especially by our younger gamblers. Thank you, Mary D., YGIR Literature Chair"
