August 13 - The Gamblers Anonymous Program's Fourth Step suggests that
we make a searching and fearless moral and financial inventory of
ourselves. For some of us, no challenge seems more formidable; there's
nothing more difficult than facing ourselves as we really are. We flee
from one wrongdoing after another as they catch up with us, forever
making excuses, pleading always that our virtues in other areas far
outweigh our flaws. Yet once we become willing to look squarely and
self-searchingly at ourselves, we're then able to illuminate the dark
and negative side of our natures with new vision, determination, and
grace.Am I willing to open my eyes and step out into the sunlight?
Today I Pray - May my Higher Power stop me in my tracks if I am running away from myself. For I will never overcome my misdeeds, or the flaws in my character that brought them about, by letting them chase me. May I slow down and turn to face them with the most trusty weapon I know - truth.
Today I Will Remember - I will not be a fugitive from myself.
