Thank you to everyone for your replies. Yes, I have a great internal struggle with my own ideas, and letting them go, or at least being far more open to other ideas that have been shared with me in AA.
And yes...my first real point was to say that meetings can help all of us who really want to get sober. All we have to do is go there, and be a part. Be honest, willing, and open-minded.
And yes...none of us can say there is, or is not an intelligent HP that directs us or not. Even me. All I know is that there is something bigger and greater than me, and I can't explain it, and I can't predict it. What I can do is surrender my willful ways, and practice acceptance of what was, what is, and what will be.
And I love a good thought that helps me feel happiness, peaceful, and love. No matter where it comes from...religion, science, therapy, a book, or drunk man down the street.
