I'm a religious pantheist. My spirituality is tremendously important in my life, and my recovery, but I have no god. I believe the Universe is ultimate reality and I am a part of that process known as the Universe.
I've been a pantheist for nearly twenty years and there is no cut and paste way to work the 12 steps, that I can see, using Universe as higher power...so I've cobbled together my own recovery program.
I don't want to waste energy arguing spirituality with other 12 steppers, especially when we all have spirituality and each of ours works for us...why argue? But I do have people tell me that there is no way I can stay clean with my idea of a HP...
so, I am glad there is a place here on these forums where people of a variety of spiritualities as well as secular ideologies can shoot the breeze.
The Universe doesn't give a rat's ass about my sobriety. Sobriety is MY agenda, and a good one, but the Universe isnt going to save me from myself.
It isn't going to fix any defects, because it recognizes none...
I'm not familiar with the other programs spoken of here...time to do my homework.
