Tues. For Today

December 13th, Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. John Newton Nothing could better describe what so many of us in OA feel than the words of "Amazing Grace." For us, however, the experience is not a religious but a spiritual one. Whatever our religious beliefs, or nonbelief's, spiritual recovery is felt as a profound inner change; a dissolving of the attitudes and opinions that kept us chained to compulsion. Spiritual awakening heals us of selfwilled blindness to the truth about ourselves and our condition. We are no longer wandering, alone and lost. We are found. For today: That people so deep in the clutches of compulsive illness can recover is truly evidence of Amazing Grace.
