Being an Agnostic, I had a bit of trouble with Gorski's section on spirituality. To be fair, if he was able to explain his idea in words in a group situation it would probably make a bit more sense, but as written it seems a bit confining.

On the Digital Dharma website I found a much more acceptable explanation for spirituality as it relates to PAWS;

"...our higher power can be god, as we understand god, or our recovery group, or the great outdoors, whatever. Recognizing a higher power is simply admitting that we aren't perfect and don't know everything. We let all those grandiose feelings go, substituting a bit of humility instead, and become willing to listen to the ideas and advice of others".

Mine is the Universe, Nature, and Life's ability to always find a way to be.
