Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

Has anyone ever tried to push their Higher Power onto you?

I often hear others say they don't like going to meetings because others push the God word around too much. Does this happen at ur meetings?

I was raised by my own faith and for me it works. I keep my faith to myself unless others are sharing about theirs. As far as meetings....i hear the words faith, Higher Power or whom ever others choose to rely on for strength and guidance.

I for myself dont like to be preached to or at. I had my schooling and rearing from my parents in my early yrs. and therefore im cool with the knowledge i have gather so far.

No one needs to save me and make me switch to their religion to stay sober.

When i was in treatment, id hear them use Higher Power instead of the G word. I was cool with that because i realized that i was amongst many different people in the same room. Different races, faiths and addictions.

For the councilor to help all of us they used the Higher Power therory as an example. The Higher Power could be ANYTHING u wanted it to be just as long as u felt that u could rely on it to help u stay sober one day at a time.

I had my Higher Power....who did u have?

Thanks for letting me share.
