AA says no human power could relieve your alcoholism only God if he is sought!!!!!
You asked for an explanation how someone who "does not believe in God" would apply the Steps.
I answered you by saying I worked The Steps By accepting AA as my (then ) Higher Power and by replacing God with Good Orderly Direction.
You then go on to say "Good orderly Direction is a "Human power".
Whether you regard it as "Human power" or "whatever power" Mr Taiman the point is " I found a way to work the Steps without a belief in God"
What exactly IS your point?
First you claim that "The Steps cannot be worked without a belief in God"
Then you finish up by saying "atheists in AA have already proved it possible to stay sober without a belief in God"
Perhaps your confusion lies in your own stereotype of whom or what you think God is.
Sleep tight Mr. Taiman.
