JANUARY 20 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "My shortcomings are long if I let them linger"

I understand that, when I allow myself to dwell on the problem, the problem will worsen. But when I dwell on the solution, the situation will improve. My problems with money today have much less significance when I focus on my recovery and continued abstinence rather than spending my time wishing I had no debts. My past grand illusions of debt-free wealth are today just that: illusions. My happiness today depends on my acceptance of the financial burdens I have created and the plans I have to repay them in some reasonable fashion. Do I understand that my patience in these matters is an important ingredient of my recovery? Today I Pray…May I remember that my life took many turns for the worse - over a long period of time.

Today I Will Remember … My shortcomings are long only if I let them linger. https://www.hazelden.org/store/item/329?A-Day-at-A-Time-Gamblers-Anonymous-Hardcover https://amzn.to/3EOjuiH
