if I think I have a problem with God,maybe I should consider the problem God has with me!
when I got to AA,I really wasn`t too crazy about the "God Stuff" because of several reasons.
the main reason was- I brought in to AA my personel conception of God.The conception I had formed by my actions,beliefs formed by my twisted perception of world events,other folks behaviour,and my behaviour which resulted in my guilt and shame.It was my conception,none the less,brought on by my misunderstanding.In AA I learned to set those old ideas aside and let the steps bring about a new conception of God,one that would work for me in any circumstances.
that is why the 2nd and 3rd step flowed together for me,I just was willing to ask "whoever or whatever out there" to keep me sober today.I quit defining God and tryed to utilize God.About one month later,I named that "whoever or whatever" God...the main part of my 3rd step was asking God to keep me sober,one day at a time,since my will was to drink,I gave it to God and have been sober since.
GOD works!
