  • MARCH 28 Reflection for the Day

    We must think deeply of all those sick persons still to come to Gamblers Anonymous. As they try to make their return to faith and to life, we want them to find everything in the Program that we have found—even more, if that is possible. No care, no vigilance, no effort to preserve the Program’s constant effectiveness and spiritual strength will ever be too great to hold us in full readiness for the day of their homecoming.

    How well do I respect the Steps of the Program?

    Today I Pray

    God, help me carry out my part in making the group a lifeline for those who are still suffering from compulsive gambling, in maintaining the Steps of Recovery and Unity that have made it work for me and for those who are still to come. May the Program be a homecoming for those of us who share the disease of compulsive gambling. May we find common solutions to the common problems that this disease breeds.

    Today I Will Remember

    To do my part.

    Ika-28 ng Marso

    Pagninilay para sa Araw na ito

    Dapat nating pag-isipang mabuti ang lahat ng mga taong may sakit na parating pa lang sa Gamblers Anonymous. Habang sinisikap nilang bumalik sa pananampalataya at sa buhay, gusto nating mahanap nila ang lahat sa Programang nahanap natin—higit pa, kung posible iyon. Walang pag-iingat, walang pagbabantay, walang pagsisikap na mapanatili ang patuloy na bisa at espirituwal na lakas ng Programa ay magiging sobra para hawakan tayo nang buong kahandaan para sa araw ng kanilang pag-uwi sa bahay.

    Gaano ko kahusay iginagalang ang mga Hakbang ng Programa?

    Ngayon ipinagdarasal ko…

    Diyos, tulungan mo akong maisakatuparan ang aking parte sa paggawa ng grupo na isang linya ng buhay para sa mga nagdurusa pa rin sa adiksyon sa pagsusugal, sa pagpapanatili ng mga Hakbang ng Paggaling at Pagkakaisa na nagpagana nito para sa akin at para sa mga darating pa. Nawa’y maging tila pag-uwi sa bahay ang Programa para sa mga kasama natin na parehong may adiksyon sa pagsusugal. Nawa’y makahanap tayo ng mga karaniwang solusyon sa mga karaniwang problemang dulot ng sakit na ito.

    Ngayon tatandaan ko…

    Gawin ang parte ko.

A Day at a Time can serve as a beacon of hope and guidance for individuals grappling with the shackles of compulsive gambling. In the throes of addiction, each day can seem like an insurmountable challenge, but adopting a daily reflection practice can illuminate a path towards recovery. This practice involves introspection, encouraging the individual to carefully examine their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors throughout the day. By scrutinizing their experiences, they begin to unravel the intricate web of triggers and patterns that fuel their gambling impulses. This heightened self-awareness lays the groundwork for transformation.

Mindfulness is a cornerstone of this process.

It encourages the compulsive gambler to be present in each moment, to recognize the fleeting thoughts of temptation as they arise. Armed with this awareness, they can intercept the impulse before it gains a stranglehold on their actions. This newfound clarity enables them to develop coping strategies tailored to their specific triggers. They might engage in alternative activities that channel their energy positively or reach out to a support network when cravings surge.

Breaking the journey into manageable chunks, focusing on one day at a time, is a crucial aspect of this approach. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the daunting prospect of battling addiction, the individual sets realistic daily goals. With every day successfully navigated, a sense of accomplishment takes root, reinforcing their commitment to recovery. This positive reinforcement, accumulated over time, becomes a sturdy foundation upon which lasting change is built.

As days evolve into weeks and weeks into months, the cumulative effect of daily reflection becomes evident. The individual’s once-turbulent thoughts begin to settle, and their actions align more closely with their aspirations. With persistence, the grip of addiction loosens, allowing them to reclaim agency over their life. Through this gradual process, the compulsive gambler emerges as a testament to the power of self-awareness, mindfulness, and resilience. A day at a time, they rewrite their story, embracing a future defined by freedom rather than compulsion.
