i entered AA with a pre-installed religion......well a fear of god lets just put it that way.
Religous beliefs and concepts sewn into my brain when i was a young un..
It wasnt like i had to find a higherpower......more of letting go of old concepts...ie i was gonna burn in hell.
i had to unravel some ...bs notions........and childhood fears.
and get a new concept of a loving ..forgiving....god.
so for me..religion didnt work for me...or the concept i had anyhow.
i chose a new concept.....and that has opened a door to a new connection ...a beautiful connection.....a fearless connection..
i get that connection through doing certain things......my half hour in the morning.......silence.....pray.
in the wilderness......the countryside.
and doing something for someone else.........taking time with people and not focusing on me....me and more me.
there you go.........thats my experience.
