I'm not a very religious person, more spiritual I guess and that's what's kept me from trying the 12 step program. I'm just not a person who's comfortable talking about God and praying. I mean I guess I do believe there is a higher power in the universe, but I don't put a name to it. I'm afraid my lack of strong religious beliefs might make the program not work for me? Any thoughts on that? I admit to not knowing a lot about how it works.
