But, I think I need to improve my own concept of a higher power.
I have always had tremendous respect for the natural world, and I assumed a general concept of "nature" as my higher power.
But... The right answer was right there in front of me. The community is truly a higher power that I can put my finger on. And I can turn my will over by being totally honest and really relying on the support the community can provide -- and then when it's my turn to do so give back to the community.
This makes turning my will over no longer such a nebulous concept. It's something real that I can do.
Hey goat, I had the hardest time in the beginning with steps 2&3. I don't believe in the idea of a creator god, I believe we evovled right here on mother earth without any help from anything any where else in the universe. AA is my high power and I have been quite comfortable with that. In a meeting one night a lady said her god is the spirit of the universe and that solved my problems with tep 3. I too plan to give back to the community one day.
