Those that are agnostics usually have trouble with the spiritual side of recovery, since many still play god themselves, giving credit too themselves, they may stay sober yet are so miserable and thus make everyone around them miserable, most people that know them wish they would go back to the drinking because honestly thats what they really want to hear anyway.

P.S. I didn`t get into recovery to be miserable, i came to get sober and found god, and the spiritual side that i was lacking that comes with knowing that only a power greater than myself can restore me to sanity, even if i believe in a tree for a higher power, and i have myself, the momosa tree, because its leaves open in the morning and close at night like clockwork and for me the tree had a better schedual than i did, because the tree could get up on time and go to bed at time yet i couldn`t, so yes the tree was a power greater than myself, and ironically the tree was created by the hand of god so for me it`s a piece of him. Today i pray to nature and some how its like a direct line to god. So really whatever floats your bout as long as you understand that we are all on gods green earth. The hard truth is that sanity is not a recuirement, and many i pray for, and it`s sad to say but some make me happy when i see them and some as they walk out the door. Some just never get the spiritual side of the program and it`s sad since it`s a spiritual program. I have a disease that effects me physically, mentally, and last but not least spiritually. So god bless to anyone still testing their recovery, your in my prayers, wich is covered in step 11.
