SS...the 12 steps are very open....you will find your own way within a range of choices (hug)
as I think you know i use a number of higher powers in my program, the law of cause and effect being I think the most important for me and the spiritual path i am on being another biggy.
The truth is...doesn't matter what mine is for you.....point for me is it was by working the steps that i found out who I am, what i believe and became capable of living with my beliefs in a somwhat consistant way.
I did the "by the book" version of the steps, but I found that the journey has been far more than that. The second step for me included alot of reading from diferent spiritual ways of life and leanring from that what i did and did not believe.
I started out a believer in god in AA and became an athiest/agonostic
point is...i found out what my beliefs were so i could take them with me through the other steps
you'll find your path SS (hug)
