How do you know when you've truly found your higher power?

Idk, but I bet you know it when it happens. It sounds cerebral to me. I've got very little power right now and I'm looking for some power myself.

Good luck to you

Glad you're continuing to post!

Making conscious contact - finding our HP - took consistent prayer for me. Maybe it can be thought of as a knob on an old radio that we are turning trying to get a signal we can understand. We might at first here some scratchy noise but if we keep seeking it becomes more clear.

As time goes on received more and more affirmations of God in my life. Asking for release from bondage of self, praying for directions to help others etc.

I was in the shadow of life and the lights get brighter and brighter.

It can for anyone when we truly have our hearts in the right place. When I get to the place where what I have in life is what I need that to me is being in balance with my HP. I am not talking about stuff........

Read your Big Book - it will lead you on the path Meg!

Thanks for the thread - really great way to start the day thinking about and attempting to explain this to a new friend while understanding it myself.

Together WE stay sober
Thanks Megster

I would also say that you will know it when you find it.
