June 5 - The Gamblers Anonymous Program teaches me that not too many
people can truthfully assert that they love everybody. Most of us have
to admit that we've loved only a few, and that we've been quite
indifferent to many. As for the rest, well, we've really disliked or
hated them. We in Gamblers Anonymous find we need something much better
than this in order to keep our balance. The idea that we can be
possessively loving of a few, can ignore the many, and can continue to
fear or hate anyone at all, has to be abandoned - if only a little at a
time.
At meetings, do I concentrate on the message rather than the messenger?
Today
I Pray - May I understand that there is no place in my recovery from
compulsive gambling - or in my entire life - for toxic hatred or
lackadaisical indifference. One of the most important positive ideas
that I must carry with me is that all humans, as the children of God,
make up a loving brother-and sisterhood. May I find it hard to hate a
brother or sister.
Today I Will Remember - Hear the message. Don't judge the messenger.
