Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from a gambling problem. GA of West Michigan serves Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, Hudsonville, Whitehall, and all surrounding communities.
June 30 - I've learned in the Gamblers Anonymous Program that the trick, for
me, is not stopping gambling, but staying stopped and learning how not to start
again. God knows, I tried to stop plenty of times, by lecturing myself on
how it was affecting not only my life, but all aspects of my behavior.
Gambling was actually changing who I seemed to be. To stay stopped, I've
had to develop a positive, ongoing program of action. I've had to learn
to live free from addiction, cultivating new patterns, new interest, and new
attitudes.
Am I remaining flexible in my new life? Am I exercising my freedom to
abandon limited objectives?
Today I Pray - I pray that my new life will be filled with new patterns, new
friends, new activities, new ways of looking at things. I need God's help
to overhaul my lifestyle to include all the newness it must hold. I also
need a few ideas of my own. May my independence from compulsive gambling
help me make my choices with an open mind and a clear, appraising
eye.
