THE HARD-FOUGHT ADMISSIONS -
"Some of us didn't take this step seriously at first; we passed over it with a minimum of concern only to find the next steps would not work until we worked Step Two. Even when we admitted that we needed help with our drug problem, many of us would not admit to the need for faith and sanity." (The Basic Text, p. 23)
A LOVING HIGHER POWER OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING -
"... that means
a belief in a Creator
who is all power, justice,
and love, a God [or H.P.]*
who intends for me a
purpose, a meaning,
and a destiny to
grow," (As Bill
Sees It, p.
51)
"I cannot
imagine a God
who rewards and
punishes the objects
of his creation and
is but a reflection
of human
frailty."
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) German-American physicist
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
