    April 7 Reflection for the Day

    Our spiritual and emotional growth in the Gamblers Anonymous Program doesn’t depend so deeply upon success as it does upon our failures and setbacks. If we bear this in mind, a relapse can have the effect of kicking us upstairs, instead of down. We in the Program have had no better teacher than Old Man Adversity, except in those cases where we refuse to let him teach us.

    Do I try to remain always teachable?

    Today I Pray
    May I respect the total Program, with its unending possibilities for spiritual and emotional growth, so that I can view a relapse as a learning experience, not “the end of the world.” May
    relapse for any one of our Fellowship serve to teach not only the person who has slipped, but all of us. May it strengthen our shared resolve.

    Today I Will Remember
    If you slip, get up.
