April 15 -- Reflection of the Day: Rare are the practicing
compulsive gamblers who have any idea how irrational they are, or,
seeing their irrationality, can bear to face it. One dictionary defines
sanity as "soundness of mind." Yet no compulsive gambler, rationally
analyzing his or her destructive behavior, can truly claim soundness of
mind.
Have I come to believe, as the Second Step
suggests, that a Power greater than myself can restore me to a normal
way of thinking and living?
Today I Pray: May I see
that my own behavior as a compulsive gambler could be described as
"abnormal" or "insane." For those still actively addicted, admitting to
"insane" behavior is well-nigh impossible. I pray that I may continue to
abhor the insanities and inanities of my addictive days. May others
like me recognize their problems of addiction, find help in Gamblers
Anonymous, and come to believe that a Higher Power can restore them to a
normal way of thinking and living.
Today I Will Remember: He restoreth my soul.
