Surrender and Find Gamblers Anonymous

December 30 - My life before coming to GA was not unlike the lives of so many of us who were cruelly buffeted and tormented by the power of our addiction.  For years, I had been sick and tired.  When I became sick and tired of being sick and tired, I finally surrendered and came to the GA Program.  Now I realize that I had been helped all along by a Higher Power; it was this Power, indeed, that allowed me to live so that I could eventually find a new way of life.

Have I found in the GA Program a measure of serenity previously unknown to me?

Today I Pray - May I realize that my Higher Power has not suddenly come into my life like a stranger opening a door when I knocked.  The Power has been there all along, if I will just remember how many brushes with disaster I have survived by a fraction of time or distance.  Now that I have come to know my Higher Power better, I realize that I must have been saved for something - perhaps for helping others like me.

Today I Will Remember - I am grateful to be alive and recovering.
