“Remember that we deal with alcohol—cunning, baffling, powerful! Without help it is too much for us. But there is One who has all power—that One is God. May you find Him now!”

1. That we were alcoholic and could not manage our own lives.
2. That probably no human power could have relieved our alcoholism.
3. That God could and would if He were sought.

Nope, “the Higher Power” crapola that is abused was put in there to satisfy the “woke” of that day, and I said, is abused and misunderstood by today.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him , praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

Not really. Should the primary purpose of the group be to state a preference to for a particular organized religion or show the newcomer that the meeting participants know the path that leads away from institutions, jailhouse and graveyards? You are gravely mistaken if you think it is the former.

Creating a simple equivalence between people who bow to a higher power and people who make shit up is idiotic. They are diametrically opposed.

There are several billion people in the world that disagree that your definition of “God” is Jesus Christ.

Debating this crap is useless. But it clearly makes you feel good, so whatever.
