  • MARCH 15 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Sort out my feelings"

    MARCH 15 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Sort out my feelings"
    Mar 15 2026
    There have been days during my recovery when just about everything seemed bleak and even hopeless. I allowed myself to become depressed and angry. I see now that it doesn't matter what I think, and it doesn't matter how I feel. It's what I do that counts. So when I become anxious or upset, I try to stay in recovery by going to meetings, participating, and working with others in the Gamblers Anonymous Program. If God seems far away, who moved? Today I Pray … May I not be immobilized by sadness or anger to the point of despair. May I look for the roots of despair in my tangle of emotions, sort out the tangle, pull out the culprit feelings, acknowledge that they belong to me. Only then can I get into gear, take action, begin to accomplish. May I learn to make use of the energy generated by anger to strengthen my will and achieve my goals.

  • MARCH 14 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Ask nothing in return"

    MARCH 14 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Ask nothing in return"
    Mar 14 2026
    One thing that keeps me on the right track today is a feeling of loyalty to other members of Gamblers Anonymous, no matter where they may be. We depend on each other. I know, for example, that I'd be letting them down if I ever gambled. When I came to GA, I found a group of people who were not only helping each other to stay clean, but who were loyal to each other by staying clean themselves. Am I loyal to my group and to my friends in GA? Today I Pray … I thank God for the loyalty and fellowship of the group and for the mutuality of commitment that binds us together. May I give to the group in the same proportion that I take from it. Having been a taker during so many of my years, my giving used to be no more than a commodity, for which I expected to be paid in approval or love or favors. May I learn the joy of pure giving, with no strings attached, no expectation of reward. Today I Will Remember … A perfect gift asks nothing in return. A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiH G.A.

    MARCH 13 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Seek the inner kingdom"
    Mar 13 2026
    All my life, I looked to others for comfort, security, and all the other things that add up to what I now call serenity. But I've come to realize that I was always looking in the wrong place. The source of serenity is not outside, but within myself. The kingdom is within me, and I already have the key. All I have to do is to be willing to use it. Am I using the tools of the Gamblers Anonymous Program on a daily basis? Am I willing? Today I Pray … God gives me the courage to seek out the kingdom inside myself, to find that well spring within me that has its source in the never-ending, life-giving river of God. May my soul be restored there. May I find the serenity I seek. Today I Will Remember … To seek the inner kingdom. A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiH G.A. A New Beginning https://amzn.to/3E9YgPC

  • MARCH 12 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "I am God-dependent"

    MARCH 12 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "I am God-dependent"
    Mar 12 2026
    If we examine every disturbance we have, great or small, we'll find at the root of it some unhealthy dependency and its consequent unhealthy demand. So let us, with God's help, continually surrender these crippling liabilities. Then we can be set free to live and love. We may then be able to Twelfth Step ourselves, as well as others, into emotional well being. Do I try to carry the message of the Gamblers Anonymous Program? Today I Pray … May I first get my emotional and spiritual house in order before I seek to carry out serious commitments in human relationships. May I look long and thoroughly at "dependency" - upon the highs of gambling or upon other human beings - and recognize it as the source of my unrest. May I transfer my dependency to God, as I understand Him. Today I Will Remember … I am God-dependent. A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiH G.A. A New Beginning https://amzn.to/3E9YgPC

    MARCH 11 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Faith in God's love"
    Mar 11 2026
    Since I came to Gamblers Anonymous, I've begun to recognize my previous inability to form a true partnership with another person. It seems that my egomania created two disastrous pitfalls. Either I insisted upon dominating the people I knew, or I depended on them far too much. My friends in the Program have taught me that my dependence meant demand-a demand for the possession and control of the people and the conditions surrounding me. Do I still try to find emotional security either by dominating or being dependent on others? Today I Pray ... May I turn first to God to satisfy my love hunger, knowing that all God asks from me is my faith. May I no longer cast emotional nets over those I love, either by dominating them or being excessively dependent upon them-which is just another form of domination. May I give others the room they need to be themselves. May God show me the way to mature human relationships. Today I Will Remember ... To have faith in God's love.

    MARCH 10 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Truth within lets God in"
    Mar 10 2026
    "We must be true inside, true to ourselves, before we know a truth that is outside us... We make ourselves true inside by manifesting the truth as we see it," wrote Thomas Merton in No Man Is An Island. Since much of my recovery is based on spiritual progress, it is essential that I start by creating within me a small area of absolute truth and love where God can become rooted. As I expand that area of truth and love, God will grow within me. When I came to Gamblers Anonymous, my spiritual life was at an all time low. At least for today, will I not allow my compulsions to come between me and my inner truth? Today I Pray … May I recognize the difference between my feeling today of God within me and the emptiness that existed when I was gambling. Help me understand that only by continuously seeking and facing the truths about myself will my spiritual recovery progress. Today I Will Remember … Truth within lets God come in.

  • MARCH 9 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Value the life of the spirit"

    MARCH 9 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Value the life of the spirit"
    Mar 9 2026
    We learn in Gamblers Anonymous that, as we grow spiritually, we find that our old attitudes toward our instinctual drives need to undergo drastic revisions. Our demands for emotional security and wealth, for personal prestige and power, all have to be tempered and redirected. We learn that the full satisfaction of these demands cannot be the sole end and aim of our lives. But when we're willing to place spiritual growth first then, and only then, do we have a real chance to grow in healthy awareness and mature love. Am I willing to put spiritual growth first? Today I Pray … May my development as a spiritual person temper my habitual hankerings for material security. May I understand that the only real security in life is spiritual. If I have faith in my Higher Power, these revisions in my attitudes will follow. May I grow first in spiritual awareness. Today I Will Remember … Value the life of the spirit.

    MARCH 8 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Feelings come out 'sideways'"
    Mar 8 2026
    Merely changing my behavior, and what I say and do, doesn't prove there's been a change in my actual inner attitude. I'm deceiving myself if I believe I can somehow completely disguise my true feelings. They'll somehow come through, prolonging the difficulties in my relationships with others. I have to avoid half-measures in getting rid of the troublesome emotions I've been trying to hide. Have I taken an honest inventory of myself? Today I Pray … May I know that feelings will come out somehow-sometimes barely disguised as behavior that I cannot always understand. But that perhaps is more acceptable to me than the root emotion that caused it. May I be completely and vigilantly honest with myself. May I be given the insight that comes through depending upon a Higher Power. Today I Will Remember … Feelings can come out "sideways." A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiH G.A.
