    DECEMBER 23 Reflection for the Day

    How can I tell if I have begun to be aware of my spirituality. Sometimes the discovery that we are spiritual beings manifests itself in simple, rather than complicated, evidences: emotional maturity; an end to constant and soul-churning resentments; the ability to love and be loved in return; the belief, even without understanding, that a Power beyond us controls the setting and rising sun, brings forth and ends life, and gives joy to human hearts.

    Am I now aware, as I try to practice the Gamblers Anonymous principles in all my affairs, that my perspective is wider, my view of humanity gentler, than in the self-centered misery of my gambling days?

    Today I Pray
    May my spiritual confidence begin to spread over my attitudes towards others, especially during holiday times, when anticipations and anxieties are high. As a compulsive gambler, I have not handled the emotions of holidays well. I pray for serenity to cope with the holiday brew of emotions.

    Today I Will Remember
    Perspective comes through practicing the principles.

    • That was absouletly the best! Gambling i have come to realize not only affects you financially but what it does to yr mind, yr spirit and self esteem is the very worse pain! Haviing support from a higher power to look into our goals for our purpose here on earth is not about destroying the person we were meant to be with an addiction that takes away everything God wanted us to be….so we start each day with gratitude and thanks and pray for strength to be what we were meant to be ! We stay connected to others like this support group to vent , challenge our minds and share for we our not alone or weak we are part of a community! We are each others support to become the best that we can be!
