Before I admitted my powerlessness over gambling, I had as much self worth as a "peeled zero." I came into Gamblers Anonymous as a nobody who desperately wanted to be a somebody. In retrospect, my self-esteem was shredded, seemingly beyond repair. Gradually, the Program has enabled me to achieve an ever stronger sense of self-worth. I've come to accept myself, realizing that I'm not as bad as I had always supposed myself to be.Am I learning that my self-worth is not dependent on the approval of others, but instead is truly an "inside job"?Today I Pray … When I am feeling down and worthless, may my Higher Power and my friends in the group help me see that, although I was "fallen," I was not "cast down." However sick I might have been in my gambling days, with all the self-esteem of an earthworm, may I know that I still had the power of choice. And I chose to do something about myself. May that good choice be the basis for my reactivated self-worth.Today I Will Remember … I will not kick myself when I'm down.A Day at a Time ⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3EOjuiH⁠⁠⁠G.A.
