My HP is definately not a He, Him, or Her and I have been able to stay sober in AA for over 7 years. I just found something more powerful than me to believe in. It really doesn't matter what you start with as that will evolve over time as we learn and grow in sobriety. I started with the basic concept of electricity being more powerful than I and it worked for me. Electricity is powerful enough to kill me. All of our cells run on a form of energy/electricity. Our heart utilizes electricity to pump. So without it I would be nothing. I know quite a few who also do not subscribe to the Judeo Christian God and have done quite well in AA. I just don't worry too much about the word God, Higher Power, or whatever. I just know that there is something in the universe that is bigger and stronger than I and I substitute that thought when I come across the words to indicate God. Hope that helps. Glad you are back and working toward sobriety.
