About this listen

 The Gamblers Anonymous Program teaches me to work for progress, not perfection. That simple admonition gives me great comfort, for it represents a primary way in which my life today is so different from what it used to be. In my former life, perfection - for all its impossibility - was so often my number one goal. Today I can believe that if I sometimes fail, I'm not a failure - and if I sometimes make mistakes, I'm not a mistake. And I can apply those same beliefs to the Twelve Steps of Recovery, as well as to my entire life. Do I believe that only Step One can be practiced with perfection, and that the remaining Steps represent perfect ideals? Today I Pray … God, teach me to abandon my erstwhile goal of superhuman perfection in everything I did or said. I know now that I was actually bent on failure, because I could never attain those impossible heights I had established for myself. Now that I understand this pattern, may I no longer program my own failures. Today I Will Remember … I may strive to be a super person, but not a superperson.
