I think it is important to be clear about what guidance one accepts from a higher power---especially if it is people at a meeting.
Being sober in AA does not make one a good financial adviser, psychologist, matchmaker, or career counselor. Some guidance from the higher power should be rejected.
But for me, developing judgement is a big part of recovery.
I always worry about this idea of having a Group of Drunks as a higher power. It seems to me that a few caveats get left out.
