Great thread ananda, Good to see you reaching out.
Being agnostic. I already believed there is a God. I just didn't have any knowledge of God. It was just word on the wall and something the pastor spoke about in church. When I saw "God as we understand him" in the 3rd step, I thought I could start with that. Looking back the most important thing about it was being open to the possibility that a higher power could help me. My concept of God has changed a lot over the years. It just keeps getting better.
