Gamblers Anonymous is a Highway to Freedom

December 28 - The GA Program, for me, is not only a safe place and a philosophy, but a highway to freedom.  The highway leads me toward my spiritual goal of becoming the person I want to be as the result of these Steps.  Sometimes the highway doesn't get me to the goal as quickly as I might wish, but I try to remember that God and I work from different timetables.  But the goal is there, and I know that the Twelve Steps of Recovery will help me reach it.

Have I come to realize that I - and anyone else - can now do what I had always though impossible?

Today I Pray - As I live the GA Program, may I realize more and more that it is a means to an end rather than an end in itself.  May I keep in mind that the kind of spirituality it calls for is never complete, but is the essence of change and growth, a drawing nearer to an ideal state.  May I be way of setting time-oriented goals for myself to measure my spiritual progress.

Today I Will Remember - Timetables are human inventions.
