April 24 -- Reflection of the Day: We come to know in the Gamblers Anonymous Program that there is no deeper satisfaction and no greater joy than in a Twelfth Step well done. To watch the eyes of men and women open with wonder as they move from darkness to light, to see their lives quickly fill with new purpose and meaning, and above all to watch them awaken to the presence of a loving God in their lives--these things are the substance of what we receive as we carry the message of the Program.
Am I learning through Twelfth Step experiences that gratitude should be forward, rather that backward?
Today I Pray: May my Twelfth Step be a wholehearted and as convincing and as constructive as others' Twelfth--Stepping has been for me. May I realize that the might of the Program and its effectiveness for all of us come through "passing it on." When I guide someone else to abstinence, my own abstinence is underlined and reinforced. I humbly ask God's guidance before each Twelfth Step.
Today I Will Remember: To pass it on.
