October 13 - My progress in recovery depends in large measure on my attitude, and my attitude is up to me. It's the way I decide to look at things. Nobody can force an attitude on me. For me, a good attitude is a point of view unclouded by self-pity and resentments. There will be stumbling blocks in my path, without a doubt. But the Gamblers Anonymous Program can be turned into stepping stones for growth.
Do I believe, as Tennyson, put it, "that men may rise on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things"?
Today I Pray - May God help me cultivate a healthy attitude toward myself, the Gamblers Anonymous Program, and other people. God, keep me from losing my spiritual stabilizers, which keep me level in purpose and outlook. Let me ignore self-pity, discouragement, and my tendency to over dramatize. Let no dead-weight burden throw me out of balance.
Today I Will Remember - With God on my side, I need not be discouraged.
