Just wondering how other Atheists who do AA have dealt with this?
I don't believe in any sort of spirituality, I believe we are born, we live, we die and thats it.
I do believe in a sort of karma, not in a spiritual sense, but more in that the way you treat people is probably how they will treat you, treat them badly then they are likely to treat you badly.
Anyways any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Craig,
I think the interesting thing about a belief in a "higher power" is that so many people corrupt the concept by labeling it. It seems irrelevant to me to put a word on something that is entirely ineffable. Spirituality can be a belief in anything I believe.
