What makes an alkie stop?
I am with Bugs, in that I don't believe "God" intervenes because we ask "him".
Atheists can work the program, Buddhists already agree with the program, "relieve me from the bondage of self" is Buddhism.
The BB assumes you have no HP, it even says the purpose of this book is to enable you to find a power greater than yourself. Well, what if you are already familiar with a power greater than yourself?
Then the language may well go against what you already believe.
I started to see that the book was laying out basic principles for spiritual growth
that is what we are being asked to do, grow along spiritual lines, I like that, I can embrace it.
