MAY 15 REFLECTION OF THE DAY "I'm not alone"

Looking back at those last desperate days before I came to Gamblers Anonymous, I remember more than anything the feelings of loneliness and isolation. Even when I was surrounded by people, including my own family, the sense of "aloneness" was overwhelming. Even when I tried to act sociable and wore the mask of cheerfulness, I usually felt a terrible anger at not belonging. Will I ever forget the misery of being "alone in a crowd"? Today I Pray … I thank God for the greatest single joy that has come to me outside of my abstinence from gambling the feeling that I am no longer alone. May I not assume that loneliness will vanish overnight. May I know that there will be a lonely time during recovery, especially since I must pull away from my former gambling buddies. I pray that I may find new friends who are recovering. I thank God for the Gamblers Anonymous Fellowship. Today I Will Remember … I am not alone. A Day at a Time ⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3EOjuiH⁠⁠ G.A.
