Gambling Compulsion Causes Self Destruction

January 3 - My gambling compulsion is three-fold in that it affects me physically, mentally, and spiritually.  As a compulsive gambler, I was totally out of touch, not only with myself, but with reality.  Day after miserable day, like a caged animal on a treadmill, I repeated my self-destructive pattern of living.

Have I begun to break away from my old ideas?  Just for today can I adjust myself to what is, rather than try to adjust everything to my own desires?

Today I Pray - I pray that I may not be caught up again in the downward, destructive spiral that removed me from myself and from the realities of the world around me.  I pray that I may adjust to people and situations as they are, instead of always trying, unsuccessfully and with endless frustration, to bend them to my own desires.

Today I Will Remember - I can change only myself.
