    FEBRUARY 27 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Today is good"
    Feb 27 2026
    If I live just one day at a time, I won't so quickly entertain fears of what might happen tomorrow. As long as I'm concentrating on today's activities, there won't be room in my mind for worrying. I'll try to fill every minute of this day with something good-seen, heard, or accomplished. Then, when the day is ended, I'll be able to look back on it with satisfaction, serenity, and gratitude. Do I sometimes cherish bad feelings so that I can feel sorry for myself? Today I Pray … That I will get out of the self-pity act and live for today. May I notice the good things from dawn to nightfall, learn to talk about them and thank God for them. May I catch myself if I seem to be relishing my moans and complaints more often than appreciating the goodness of my life. Today I Will Remember … Today is good.

    FEBRUARY 26 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Borrow trouble at high interest rates"
    Feb 26 2026
    "What if..." How often we hear these words from newcomers to the Gamblers Anonymous Program. How often, in fact, we tend to say them ourselves. "What if I lose my job?" "What if my car breaks down?" "What if I get sick and can't work?" "What if my child gets hooked on drugs?" What if anything our desperate imaginings can project? Only two small words, yet how heavy-laden they are with dread, fear, and anxiety. The answer to "What if..." is, plainly and simply, "Don't project." We can only live with our problems as they arise, living one day at a time. Am I keeping my thoughts positive? Today I Pray … May I grow spiritually, without being held back by anxieties. May projected fears not hobble my pursuits or keep me from making the most of today. May I turn out fear by faith. If I will only make a place for God within me, the presence of that Higher Power will remove my fears. Today I Will Remember … I can only borrow trouble at high interest rates.

  • FEBRUARY 25 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Fear hides behind indecision"

    FEBRUARY 25 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Fear hides behind indecision"
    Feb 25 2026
    Before we came to Gamblers Anonymous, fear ruled our lives. Tyrannized by our addictions and obsessions, we feared everything and everybody. We feared ourselves and, perhaps most of all, feared fear itself. These days, when I am able to accept the help of my Higher Power, it makes me feel capable of doing anything I am called upon to do. I am overcoming my fears and acquiring a comfortable new confidence. Can I believe that "courage is fear that has said its prayers..."? Today I Pray … God grant that through faith I may overcome my obsessive fears. I have been running scared for so long, it has become a habit. God help me to see that I may be purposely clinging to my fears to avoid making decisions, perhaps even to shirk the responsibility of success. Today Will Remember … Fear hides behind indecision.
