Can You Describe Your Higher Power?
I am having trouble with the higher power thing. I have been praying to the God of my understanding, which is the God in the bible (Jesus).
However, it hasn't been working. I have not stayed sober. Since I have declared myself completely and utterly powerless over alcohol and admitted that my life is unmanageable, I need a higher power to keep me sober. I cannot do it myself, which has been demonstrated over and over again.
Anyway, what I am getting at here is that I am willing to explore other ideas of a HP. So I ask you all... can you share a little about your HP, if you are comfortable to do so? This might sound like a weird request, but I am desperate here. I've spent the last few days on the road traveling by myself and have taken some time to meditate, pray and think, and I feel that there is some other form of HP that I'm just not tapping into.
Someone at my home group meeting told me to pray to the "God that helps alcoholics".
I appreciate anyone that can offer help with this!
(And before anyone asks, no, I do not have a sponsor to ask help from with this.)
