I too find this a valid question and (as I think another member suggested earlier) "bears further investigation."
How does the transformation occur without some kind of "Spiritual intervention?"
Whether we accept a Higher Power or not do we not accept spiritual laws when we practice HONESTY,FORGIVENESS,TOLERANCE,PATIENCE and HUMILITY?
Are we not in some way allowing "Spirituality" to work in our lives?
Is it not universally accepted that some of these elements can have a profound effect in helping the alcoholic to stay sober?
