Pay it Forward in Gamblers Anonymous

December 5 - N. Eldon Tanner has said, "Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth."  For most recovering gamblers, service itself is a privilege, a privilege we've been given along with our new lease on life.  Sponsorship, calling new members, or answering class from new members sometimes takes a lot of energy and time.  When I feel resistant, let me remember the security I felt when I was new in GA and recognized that there were those available to help me if I asked.

Do I know for certain that my service today is a vital part of my own continued recovery?

Today I Pray - May I never cease to remember that the service to those before me made the GA program available for me in my recovery today.  May the service I willingly provide today aid in others' recovery tomorrow.

Today I Will Remember - Service in the Program is a privilege.
