We have the same higher power.
When I first started AA I didn;t know that would be my HP, at first I added another "o" to the word god and got "good"...which to me is a mixture of love and doing the right thing, not being so selfish etc.
I am 38 days sober and have not had the obsession for 38 days but it took a long time in AA for this to happen, about 18 months of struggling with the whole HP concept, struggling with how I thought I should be doing the program.
Now I have a HP I can tune into and you can't be in that state of mindfullness etc and be a selfish, unkind person, it just isn't possible. Even when not tuned in I sometimes have to force myself to do the right thing, get off my arse and help someone etc.
