We AA's had tried out a radical and old-time formula,
one out of fashion nowadays, and it worked.
"We admitted that we were powerless -- that our lives
had become unmanageable" and
"we made a decision to turn our wills and our lives
over to God as we understood Him."
Every one of us who could make and fairly well maintain
this humbling admission and sweeping decision
had found relief from obsession and had begun to grow
into a totally and wonderfully different mental, physical,
and spiritual existence.
- Bill W., March 1967.
Within our wonderful new world,
we have found freedom from our fatal obsession.
