June 29 - Once we surrendered and came to the Gamblers Anonymous
Program, many of us wondered what we would do with all that time on our
hands. All the hours we'd previously spent planning, hiding, alibiing,
losing our shirts, borrowing, juggling accounts - and all the rest -
threatened to turn into empty chunks of time that somehow had to be
filled. We needed new ways to use the energy previously absorbed by our
addiction. We soon realized that substituting a new and different
activity is far easier than just stopping the old activity and putting
nothing in its place.
Am I redirecting my mind and energy?
Today I Pray - I pray that, once free of the encumbrance of my
addiction, I may turn to my Higher Power to discover for me how to fill
my time constructively and creatively. May that same Power that makes
human paths cross and links certain people to specific situations, lead
me along good new roads into good new places.
Today I Will Remember - Happenstance may be more than chance.
