APRIL 1 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Avoid slippery places"

from A Day at a Time Reflections · host James H

If we don't want to slip, we'll avoid slippery places. For the gambler, that means shunning poker parties and race tracks and anywhere that gambling is taking place. For me, certain emotional situations can also be slippery places, so can indulgence in old ideas, such as a well-nourished resentment that is allowed to build to explosive proportions. Do I carry the principles of the Gamblers Anonymous Program with me wherever I go? Today I Pray … May I learn not to test myself too harshly by "asking for it," by stopping in at the casino, the Bingo hall, or the track. Such "testing" can be dangerous, especially if I am egged on, not only by a craving for the old object of my addictions, but by others still caught in addiction whose moral responsibility has been reduced to zero.
