I know that I was looking for the April Pact and I waited a few days and did not want to steop on Vera’s toes. I did not wish to take Vera’s title, but thought I would try something and see how it goes. I know that I have trouble just focusing on one day at a time… so I thought I would change it slightly. I know that I don’t have Vera’s words of wisdom to start it off. All I am going to say is that just for today I will not gamble. Wishing everyone a day free of gambling and a wonderful recovery day.One day at a time my sweet lord…

Thanks cat for carrying the tourch this month. April feels like Spring time here in the US…clean and fresh. A new month and a fresh start. Hope today is a gamble free day for everyone here. It’s never too late to find recovery.

All we can do is focus on today and commit to have a gamble free day today. I am not focusing on April 30, but I know if we focus on today and one day at a time we will get there. Wishing everyone a day free of gambling and a wonderful recovery day.

One day at a time my sweet lord…APRIL – ODAAT (aka "April Pack by vera")
Thanks Cat for continuing this form of awareness, or as Sherry posted "carrying the torch this month". Not only for Vera and those that join in, but also for the ones that might just look at the title and are made more aware of the fact that they have to do something, that they have to take some action (if only by acknowledging that just for one day that they will not gamble), to be able to make it to the next day, next month, and next year.
I felt the same reluctance as you when I borrowed from Justin’s the topic "The Daily Pledge by justin_southafrica ", and continued what he started by using a similar one. I only know that using his helped me, and my using the renamed one still helps me, and hopefully any others that may read it.
So this April, I join you, Vera, and our other fellow gamblers that reach out for, and to give, help and support. Today I will say "just for today I will not gamble", and have hope and faith that this goal will be carried out each of the days in April.
God’s speed. Stay strong. Keep aware. Keep April a gambling free month in each of your lives.LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G’s – God, GA, and GT, "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all , I will continue to remain gambling free. -

Hi there
Well i am not going to enter this for the month, not for the day, but just for the next hour as even a day is too much for me right now. But, for this hour, i wont gamble

I know that when I go on and read a post from someone who has been struggling and you see the difference on their post… it gets lighter and they are more upbeat… it lifts your spirtis as well as you are so happy for them. I am saying a wee prayer for everyone in the April ODAAT that we can have a gamble free day.. and a good day of recovery, and of course for everyone who is on GT. One day at a time my sweet lord…

Good Morning, I am making a commitment that just for today I will not gamble. However, I also know that just like that thoughts can change, but I know I have to fight those thoughts and not let them become actions. Wishing that everyone finds the strength to have a day free of gambling. One day at a time my sweet lord…

Cat, I’m joining you on that ‘wee prayer’ for everyone…especially our good friend Vera.
