July 10 - The Gamblers Anonymous Program is a road, not a resting
place. Before we came to this Program - and, for some of us, many times
afterward - most of us looked for answers to our living problems in
religion, philosophy, psychology, in theories of self-control and
personal growth. Often these explorations of ours aimed at goals that
were precisely what we wanted: freedom, calm, confidence, and joy. But
they seldom provided any workable methods for getting there - for how
to get from the doldrums of despair we found ourselves in to where we
wanted to be.
Do I truly believe that I can find everything that I need and really want through the Twelve Steps?
Today I Pray - May I know that, once through the Twelve Steps, I am not
on a plane surface. For life is not a flat field, but a slope upward.
And those flights of Steps must be taken over and over and remembered.
May I be sure that, once I have made them totally familiar to me, they
will take me anywhere I want to go.
Today I Will Remember - The Steps are a road, not a resting place.
