My Higher Power is feminine and I have worked the steps.
If you still struggle a bit, there are two acronyms I have seen used for God
Good Orderly Directions
and
Group Of Drunks.
Anyway, the Group Of Drunks on this thread have given you some good perspectives and suggestions and so did the other Group Of Drunks on your other thread about detoxing.
Didn't they?

Boy can I identify.
In my 1st or 2nd week of meetings I was given the BB and I read it by the next meeting where I said I’d read it. To my shocked ego I was told “NOW STUDY IT.”
Many years later I’m still discovering things that were snuck in since my last reading.


BE WELL

I avoided AA for the same reason.

I don't want to make something up to believe in. As far as i'm concerned it's 100% down to me. Nobody else, let alone something in my imagination.
I understand it works for other people, but for me it needs to be dealt with by yourself with the help of other human beings.
