The power greater than myself is exactly that...a power greater than myself, no more, no less. Has nothing whatsoever to do with religion.

There are lots of powers greater than myself:

-a roomful of people who have recovered from alcoholism...maybe they can teach me a few things

-the possibilities I don't see (that taking this action which seems unintuitive is going to help me)

-the fact that there is knowledge beyond that which I think I know

-the hope that I can recover even though I don't think it's possible

The only thing about my higher power that has to do with God is that I am not God.
