June 13 Reflection for the Day
I don’t believe that the Gamblers Anonymous Program and the Twelve Steps work because I read it in a book, or because I hear other people say so. I believe it because I see other people recovering and because I know that I, too, am recovering. No longer do I believe that I am “helpless and hopeless.” When I see the change in other people and in myself, I know that the Program works. When a television reporter once asked the philosopher Jung if he believed in God, Jung replied slowly, “I don’t believe, I know.”
Do I know that the Program works?
Today I Pray
Show me the happy endings, the mended lives, the reconstituted selves, the rebuilt bridges, so I will not have to accept on faith the fact that the Program works. May I see it working – for others and for me. May I be grateful for the documented reality of the Program’s success. May this certainty help me find the faith I need to follow the Twelve Steps.Today I Will Remember
The Gamblers Anonymous Program works.

Amen brother. Just think of the useful progress that moolah can can make outside the One Armed Bandit’s reach! The joy of addiction is driven by our actions. “Practice makes perfect,” ironically, is key to a joy away from the reach of addiction. There are thousands upon thousands in your corner and on your side brother, may the joy in nature’s gifts fulfill your happiness.
