  • JANUARY 14 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "First surrender"

    JANUARY 14 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "First surrender"
    Jan 14 2025
    I admitted that I couldn't win the gambling battle on my own. So I finally began to accept the critically important fact that dependence on a Higher Power could help me achieve what had always seemed impossible. I stopped running. I stopped fighting. For the first time, I began accepting. And for the first time, I began to be really free. Do I realize that it doesn't matter what kind of shoes I'm wearing when I'm running away? Today I Pray … May I know the freedom that comes with surrender to a Higher Power - that most important kind of surrender that means neither "giving in" nor "giving up" but "giving over" my will to the will of God. Like a weary fugitive from spiritual order, may I stop hiding, dodging, running. May I find peace in surrender, in the knowledge that God wills that I be whole and healthy and He will show me the way. Today I Will Remember … First surrender, then serenity.

  • JANUARY 13 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Pass on the passwords"

    JANUARY 13 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Pass on the passwords"
    Jan 13 2025
    The Gamblers Anonymous Program and my friends in the Fellowship have provided me with a whole new set of tools for living. If I use all of these tools regularly and well, they'll also help rid me of such negative feelings as guilt, anxiety, rebellion, and pride. When I'm feeling depressed, do I use the tools that have proved effective? Or do I grit my teeth and suffer in painful silence? Today I Pray … I praise my wonder-working Higher Power for giving me the tools for recovery, once I admitted I was powerless over gambling and gave myself over to the will of God as I understand Him. I give thanks for the Twelve Steps, and for the fellowship of the group, which can help me see myself honestly. I give thanks for those words and phrases which become, as we understand them more completely, banners in our celebration of life free from gambling.

  • JANUARY 12 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Present pain is endurable"

    JANUARY 12 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Present pain is endurable"
    Jan 12 2025
    When I sit quietly and compare my life today with the way it used to be, the difference is almost beyond belief. But things aren't always rosy: some days are a lot better than others. I tend to accept the bad days more easily on an intellectual level than I do emotionally, or at gut-level. There are no pat answers, but part of the solution surely lies in a constant effort to practice all of the Twelve Steps. Do I accept the fact that my Higher Power will never give me more than I can handle - one day at a time? Today I Pray … That I may receive strength in the knowledge that God never gives us more than we can bear, that I can always, somehow, endure present pain, whereas the trials of a lifetime, condensed into one disastrous moment, would surely overcome me. Thanks be to God for giving us only those tribulations that are in proportion to our strength, never destroying us in our frailty. May I remember that fortitude grows out of suffering. Today I Will Remember … Present pain is endurable. A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiH G.A. A New Beginning https://amzn.to/3E9YgPC
