DECEMBER 29 Reflection for the Day

The success of the Gamblers Anonymous Program, I’ve been taught, lies in large measure in the readiness and willingness of its members to go to any lengths to help others tyrannized by their gambling addiction. If my readiness and willingness cools, then I stand in danger of losing all that I’ve gained. I must never become unwilling to give away what I have, for only by so doing will I be privileged to keep it.

Do I take the Twelfth Step seriously? What Twelve Step message have I carried today – either through direct help or by example?

Today I Pray
May I never be too busy to answer a fellow compulsive gambler’s call for help. May I never become so wound up in my pursuits that I forget that my own continuing recovery depends on that helping – a half-hour or so on the telephone, a call in person, a lunch date, whatever the situation calls for. May I know what my priorities must be.

Today I Will Remember
Helping helps me.
