Zencat

I see for myself that spiritual beliefs or lack thereof has no impact on if I stay sober or not. Addiction treatment can be secular in nature and can include AA meetings for peer support...as I do. There is enough wiggle room within the Higher Power concept that something like 'cause and effect" can be seen as a personal higher power. After all its my understanding of what constitutes a HP and not anybody's else concept. Even the Big Book's authors concept of a HP doesn't have to be the same as mine.

I concern myself with addiction treatment when working a recovery program. Ideologies about the deeper meaning about life and other lofty realms of thought like theology and philosophy and whatnot distract me from simply working an addiction treatment plan.
