I am a pagan in recovery... with a catholic sponsor...
now if THAT isn't a testament to the power of the fourth chapter of the Big Book, I'm not sure what is.
My spiritual prejudices ran deep. I won't get into them, but they were many and deep seeded. With the help of my sponsor, who never once claimed to know what I believed in (but also never once judged me for it), I was able to identify those prejudices and begin to openly, honestly and willingly deal with them... I am so grateful that Bill Wilson couldn't accept some of the ideas of the Oxford Movement. He wanted people like me to recover too, and when life became impossible, and I had to face the proposition that either God is, or he isnt, I was able to lay aside my prejudices and say without a doubt:
GOD IS!!!!
