Among the many gifts that we are offered in the Gamblers Anonymous Program is the gift of freedom. Paradoxically, however, the gift of freedom is not without a price tag: freedom can be achieved only by paying the price called acceptance. Similarly, if we can surrender to God's guidance, it will cost us our self-will, that "commodity" so precious to those of us who have always thought we could and should run the show.Is my freedom today worth the price tag of acceptance?Today I Pray … May God teach me acceptance - the ability to accept the things I cannot change. God also grant me courage to change those things I can.

Change the behavior.  A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiHG.A. A New Beginning https://amzn.to/3E9YgPC--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jamesh-acm/support
