Can you list the top facts and stats about Gamblers Anonymous?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Gamblers Anonymous (GA) is an international fellowship of people who have a compulsive gambling problem. They meet regularly to share their "experiences, strength and hope",[1][2] so they can help each other solve the problems compulsive gambling has created in their lives, and to help others recover from the addiction of compulsive gambling.[3][4][5][self-published source?] The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop gambling, as stated in the GA Combo book page 2.[6][5]
Gamblers Anonymous uses the term "Compulsive Gambling" instead of "pathological gambling" or "problem gambling" or a "gambling disorder", terms preferred by clinicians and the American Psychiatric Association (APA).[7]
