January 19 - It was far easier for me to accept my powerlessness over gambling than it was for me to accept the notion that some sort of Higher Power could accomplish what I had been unable to accomplish myself. Simply by seeking help and accepting the fellowship of others similarly afflicted, the craving left me. And I realized that, if I was doing what I was powerless alone to do, then surely I was doing so by some Power outside my own that was obviously greater.
Have I surrendered my life into the hands of God?
Today I Pray - May God erase in me the arrogant pride that keeps me from listening to Him. May my unhealthy dependence on gambling and my clinging dependence on those nearby be transformed into reliance on God. Only in this kind of dependence / reliance on a Higher Power will I find my own transformation.
Today I Will Remember - I am God-dependent.
