[glow=blue,2,300] [/glow] "Come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity."
What can we believe in? A.A. does not demand belief; Twelve Steps are only suggestions. Importance of an open mind. Variety of ways to faith. Substtitution of A.A. as Higher Power. Plight of the disillusioned. Road blocks of indifference and prejudice. Lost faith found in A.A. Problems of intellectuality and self-righteousness. Defiance is an outstanding characteristic of alcoholics. Step Two is a rallying point to sanity. Right relation to God.

"Come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity."
For me ... I believe I had come to step 1 and 2 before I even knew I was working the AA Program.
I came to a "Turning Point" in my life.
All I knew.... I had to have "Hope"
He carried me to a place, where I was introduced to a new way of Life.
To a path that has led me down a journey of Freedom and Happiness. But most of all in a space where I feel "Peace" He did for me when I could not do for myself.
