A HP can be many things in the beginning, but there are some requirements for a HP:

1. It must be more powerful then your self.
2. It must be more powerful then alcohol

Simply beleiving and seeking something that meets those 2 requirements is all the beginning that is needed.

Many have found thier HP aka God (Good Orderly Direction) to be thier AA home group or AA as a whole. If you know you are powerless over alcohol, then your HP can easily be your AA group, many of them have overcome/recovered from thier alcoholism resulting in them having a greater power over alcohol then you do.

A HP of your understanding does not mean you have to understand your HP, it means that your HP is something you understand.

Keep seeking your HP, the HP of my understanding is not the same as the one of my understanding when I first got sober, he has evolved as I have evolved, as I have drawn nearer to him he has drawn nearer to me.

Keep in mind it is a HP of your understanding, not some one elses, that is it, that is all it takes to start.
