Hi Jostudio
No, you do not have to attend meetings. however this addiction is very hard to beat by yourself. GA meetings are run & attended by fellow gamblers. They attend the meetings because of all the help & support & knowledge available within the fellowship. They WANT to stop gambling!
The benefits far outway any issues u may have re the meetings. No one is put under any pressure. They know all about you...after all they ( we ) have done everything you have done...maybe more. You will never be judged.
I have heard stories of people who have stopped gambling without any aid. But those stories are very rare. More often you hear of the people who tried to do it alone, and failed.
Try a meeting. We don't bite. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
