No one was greater than I, at least in my eyes, when I was drinking. Nevertheless, I couldnt smile at myself in the mirror, so I came to A.A. where, with others, I heard talk of a Higher Power. I couldnt accept the concept of a Higher Power because I believed God was cruel and unloving. In desperation I chose a table, a tree, then my A.A. group, as my Higher Power. Time passed, my life improved, and I began to wonder about this Higher Power. Gradually, with patience, humility and a lot of questions, I came to believe in God. Now my relationship with my Higher Power gives me the strength to live a happy, sober life.

(Let it be a God or Higher Power of your own understanding)
