In this study, the researchers explored people’s experiences with the Gambling Addiction Norway self-help groups. The researchers interviewed nine people with current or lifetime gambling disorder. They asked participants to describe their positive and negative experiences with being part of self-help groups. The researchers identified three main themes from the participants’ responses. The first theme was related to having shared experiences and understanding. The second theme was about the self-help groups’ structure and content. The third theme was about changes over time; participants’ experiences with the self-help groups changed the longer they had attended the groups.
