Higher Power does not take away free will. Higher Power is that part of all of us (we are born with it) which leads us to life, to love, to joy, to peace.
Gravity and that 300 year old tree are definitely more powerful than I am. I cannot will myself to be free of gravity any more than I can will myself to live 300 years.
Have you thought about posting these Step related questions in the 12 Step forum? I don't go to AA, but I do have a Higher Power/God.
