AUGUST 5th Reflection for the Day
Among the important things we learn in Gamblers Anonymous is to be good to ourselves. For so many of us, though, this is a surprisingly difficult thing to do. Some of us relish our suffering so much that we balloon each happening to enormous proportions in the reliving and telling. Self-pitiers are drawn to martyrdom as if by a powerful magnet – until the joys of serenity and contentment come to them through the GA Program and Twelve Steps.
Am I gradually learning to be myself?
Today I Pray
May I learn to forgive myself. I have asked – and received – forgiveness from God and from others, so why is it so hard to forgive myself? Why do I still magnify my suffering? Why do I go on licking my emotional wounds? May I follow God’s forgiving example, get on with the Program, and learn to be good to myself.
Today I Will Remember
Martyrdom; martyr dumb.

Hello Ken
I’ve been reading the posts every day since I stopped coming here the self pity postings helped me consider what’s going on, as I know, I used to have a victim compass I guess I still do.
People here of help reconsider the 649 and the lotto max, well actually any lottery game someone had help me think about stopping those but my trouble even with the one in 33 million odds I have a hard time stopping sister play the same numbers for so many years if they ever came in I was no longer playing those numbers I would go crazy even with those high high odds it’s kind of like having OCD and going home because you think the taps are running… It is such a hook. If anyone has a solution for me, please let me know. I gotta kick this as I see my emotions spilling over to work life
