HIGHER POWER

If you spend all your time looking for Him,
you might miss Her when She shows up.
Neale Donald Walsch

Our program of recovery teaches us that we
each must lean on a Higher Power. This
Higher Power is also known as "the God of
my understanding." There is nothing in this
Twelve Step program of ours that says that
my Higher Power must be the same as your
Higher Power. For some, the Higher Power
in their life is a deity. The program itself, or
a weekly meeting, might be the Higher Power
for someone else. It doesn't matter what or
who each person has for a Higher Power.

Recovery is possible for everyone. Those who
believe in one God can come together with
those who believe in many Gods, or maybe no
God at all. The atheist has just as much
chance of recovery as a very religious person.
The beauty of this program is that it works for
everybody, regardless of their approach to the
spiritual aspect. That is why it is imperative that
we accept each other's ideas of a Higher Power.
What works for one individual might not work for
another. But one thing is sure ... the program that
works if you work it, regardless of which Higher
Power you decide on.

ONE DAY AT A TIME ...
I will work my program with my Higher Power,
the God of my understanding, and allow others
to work their program with the God of their
understanding.
