April 4 -- Reflection of the Day: Another common denominator among
those who slip is failure to use there tools of the Gamblers Anonymous
Program---the Twelve Steps. The comments heard most often are, "I never
did work the Steps," "I never got past the First Step," "I worked the
Steps too slow," or "too soon." What it boils down to is that these
people considered the Steps, but didn't conscientiously and sincerely
apply the Steps to their lives.
Am I learning how to protect myself and help others?
Today
I Pray: May I be a doer of the Steps and not a hearer only. May I see
some of the common mis-Steps that lead to a fall: being too proud to
admit Step One: being too tied to everyday earth to feel the presence of
a Higher Power; being overwhelmed by the thought of preparing Step
Four, a complete moral and financial inventory; being too reticent to
share that inventory. Please God, guide me as I work the Twelve Steps.
Today I Will Remember: To watch my Steps.
