April 1 -- Reflection of the Day: If we can't want to slip, we'll avoid
slippery places. For the gambler, that means shunning poker parties and
race tracks and anywhere that gambling is taking place. For me, certain
emotional situations can also be slippery places; so can indulgence in
old ideas. Such as a well-nourished resentment that is allowed to build
to explosive proportions.
Do I carry the principles of the Gamblers Anonymous Program with me where I go?
Today I Pray: May I learn not to test myself too harshly by "asking for
it," by stopping in at the casino, the Bingo hall, or the track. Such
"testing" can be dangerous, especially if I am egged on, not only by a
craving for the old object of my addictions, but by others still caught
in addiction whose moral responsibility has been reduced to zero.
Today I Will Remember: Avoid slippery places.
