Dwell on the Solution to Gambling Problems

January 20 - I understand that, when I allow myself to dwell on the problem, the problem will worsen.  But when I dwell on the solution, the situation will improve.  My problems with money today have much less significance when I focus on my recovery and continued abstinence rather than spending my time wishing I had no debts.  My past grand illusions of debt-free wealth are today just that: illusions.  My happiness today depends on my acceptance of the financial burdens I have created - and the plans I have to repay them in some reasonable fashion. 

Do I understand that my patience in these matters is an important ingredient of my recovery?

Today I Pray - May I remember that my life took many turns for the worse - over a long period of time.  My recovery will follow a similar process in reverse, taking many turns for the better - over a long period of time.

Today I Will Remember - My shortcomings are long only if I let them linger.
