i am not grateful to the one above what ever that is ? i am grateful to aa the fellowship who saved me
nothing else saved me but the people in aa and the fellowship of aa
so not everyone is grateful to the one above as you put it
unless you mean i am grateful to a power that is above me like aa then yes they have that power for me so yes i am grateful to it
as it says in desypete 10,15 the book of life
