April 7 -- Reflection of the Day: Our spiritual and emotional growth
in the Gamblers Anonymous Program doesn't depend so deeply upon success
as it does upon our failures and setbacks. If we bear this in mind, a
relapse can have the effect of kicking us upstairs, instead of down. We
in the Program have had no better teacher that Old Man Adversity. Except
in those cases where we refuse to let him teach us.
Do I try to remain always teachable?
Today
I Pray: May I respect the total Program, with its unending
possibilities for spiritual and emotional growth, so that I can view a
relapse as a learning experience, not "the end of the world." May
relapse for any one of our Fellowship serve to teach not only the person
who has slipped, but all of us. May it strengthen our shared resolve.
Today I Will Remember: If you slip, get up.
