Hi.
I’ve believed in a “Higher Power” Long before joining the fellowship many years ago. For my own reasons I didn’t/don’t believe in that religious concept of a God with flowing robes casting lightning bolts around.

As stated above I don’t care what ones belief is, I feel mine works for me by my belief that I’m not a higher power as a lot of alcoholics think they are.

The fellowship has for about 80 years helped many millions with all our beliefs if we set aside the spiritual concept that has so many tied up in a knot.

My main concern is that with any concept that is chosen that it’s teachings are constantly followed for long lasting recovery, with face to face meetings this can more easily happen as opposed to being at the end of a wire. I say this for many reasons accumulated over the years.

BE WELL
