SINCE WE MAKE NO DEMANDS -
"First, Alcoholics
Anonymous does
NOT demand that you
believe anything. All of
its Twelve Steps are
but suggestions."
(12 & 12 p. 26)
YOU MUST DECIDE FOR YOURSELF -
"In NA, no one is forced to believe any set ideas. Each one of us can believe in anything in which we want to believe. This is a spiritual program, not a religion. Individually, we cultivate our own beliefs about a Power greater than we are." (It Works, How & Why, pp. 14 - 15)
"Believe noth-
ing just because
someone else be-
lieves it. Believe only
what you yourself
test and judge
to be true."
- Gautam Buddha (563-483 B.C.), Hindu Prince and founder of Buddhism
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
