Hi everyone,

I was wondering how one gets a higher power. I grew up Catholic, then did this Christian thing at a local church a few years ago, then after some incidents decided I was atheist, but a weak one as I felt guilty proclaiming that, lol. I can tell you that the only time I asked God to really reveal himself is while hungover in a pathetic ball on the floor bawling my eyes out hugging dirty laundry, then deciding he couldn't be there as he didn't come down from the clouds above and appear in my basement. How do you get a higher power? All the times going to AA over the years, I never made it to step two. I want one though. Just how do you go about believing it?
