April 2 -- Reflection of the Day: What causes slips? What happens to
a person who apparently seems to understand and live the Twelve Step
way, yet decides to go out gambling again? What can I do to keep this
from happening to me? Is there any consistency among those who slip, and
common denominators that seem to apply? We can each draw our own
conclusions, but we learn in the Gamblers Anonymous Program that certain
in actions will all but guarantee an eventual slip.
When
a person who has slipped is fortunate enough to return to the Program,
do I listen carefully to what he or she says about the slip?
Today
I Pray: May my Higher Power show me if I am setting myself up to
gamble again. May I glean from the experiences of others that the
reasons for such a lapse of resolve or such an accident of will most
often stem from what I have not done rather than from what I have done.
May I "keep coming back" to meetings.
Today I Will Remember: Keep coming back.
