I'm with you there. I'm not much for the supernatural either. However one's higher power can be anything you choose. The way I relate to it is a power greater than myself. For me that's the folks in my Al Anon meetings. I couldn't move a refrigerator by myself. But I could move it with the help of all the folks in my meeting. With their help, I can do things that I can't do on my own.
Please don't rule out Al Anon because of the whole higher power thing. The groups have so much support, love and hope to share. I couldn't do any of this without them.
Like they say at the meetings, "Take what you need and leave the rest".
