"Nothing is enough to the man for whom enough is too little," wrote the Greek philosopher Epicurus. Now that we're free from gambling, and are building our self-respect and winning back the esteem of family and friends, we have to avoid becoming smug about our new-found success. For most of us, success has always been a heady brew; even in our new life, it's still possible to fall into the dangerous trap of "big-shotitis." As insurance, we ought to remember that we're free today only by the grace of God.

Will I remember that any success I have today is not only mine but God's?

Today I Pray … May I keep a constant string-on-the-finger reminder that I have found freedom through the grace of God - just so I don't let my pride try to convince me I did it all myself. May I learn to cope with success by ascribing it to a Higher Power, not to my own questionable superiority.

Today I Will Remember … Learn to deal with success.
