All that's needed is the "acceptance" of the idea that there's a "power greater than yourself" that can help you to stop drinking. I realized very soon after coming to AA that if I couldn't recognize the fact that there was a power greater than me, I was in trouble. Why?? 'Cause that meant that I was my higher power and I "should" be able to figure out the problem. I couldn't stop!! So, now what??
What's nice is my concept of a higher power are built on my "beliefs" of what/who a higher power is. Your beliefs are your own. Start there.
