July 1 - Fear may have originally brought some of us to Gamblers
Anonymous. In the beginning, fear alone may help some of us stay away
from the game and that insidious about-to-be-lucky feeling (even when we knew
that gambling always turned against us in the end). But a fearful state
is hardly conducive to comfort and happiness - not for long. We have to
find alternatives to fear to get us through those first empty hours, days, and
even weeks. For most of us, the answer has been to become active in and around
the GA Program. In no time, we feel that we truly belong; for the first
time, we be begin to feel a "part of" rather than "apart
from."
Am I willing to take the initiative?
Today I Pray - May God please help me find alternatives to fear - that
watchdog of my earliest abstinence. I thank my Higher Power for directing
me to a place where I can meet others who have experienced the same compulsions
and fears. I am grateful for my feeling of belonging.
Today I Will Remember - I am "a part of, "not "apart
from."
