"Nothing in life is more wonderful than faith - the one great moving force which we can neither weigh in the balance nor test in the crucible." ~ Sir William Osler
I never saw it, touched it, smelled it, swallowed it with water or had it injected into me a hypodermic needle. But it brought about what no pill, no shot, no book, no lecture, no prayer had ever been able to do. It broke my compulsion.
"It," of course, is faith. From the moment I stepped in the door of my first meeting, OA gave me faith that this program would work for me. I believed, against all the odds, that it would work - and it did.
My faith in the power of the twelve-step program is stronger than ever. It has never failed me, and it will not fail anyone who can put aside doubt.
For Today: Compulsive overeating is no match for the twelve steps. There are people who need to hear that, both in and out of OA.
Daily Affirmation:
"I attract positive-minded people to me; I draw all things positive to myself."
