Higher Power Quit Claim By admin Posted on October 1, 2016 3 min read 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr One program slogan is particularly special to me because it saved my life: “Don’t quit before the miracle happens.” Back in the early 1990s I decided to give OA a chance. I was so sick of therapy, diets, and self-help books; I felt I had nothing left inside to keep me living—but this phrase stuck. When I thought I had decided to let the disease kill me, this slogan got me to one more meeting. When I told myself I was worthless, this slogan pushed me to call someone. This was a time for me when God was on a shelf, in a book that I might open someday. God was definitely not a part of my life, and I wondered what a miracle was, anyway. Did miracles really happen? I saw them in others, but didn’t know if I could ever get a miracle. I must have wanted to test and see, because when all hope of recovery seemed lost, the tiny seed of hope said maybe, if I just didn’t quit, I could see one of those miracles happen in my life. Today I can’t even describe how grateful I am to the power of God. I have been free from bingeing and purging for fourteen years now. I walk with my Higher Power daily; my strength to not quit on myself, my program, or my life comes from God. The true miracle here is that I not only have abstinence, but I also have the freedom to deal with life’s ups and downs without eating junk food at midnight. — Robin M., Johnson City, Tennessee USA
