"You can, if you wish, make AA itself your 'higher power.' Here's a
very large group of people who have solved their alcohol problem. In
this respect they are certainly a power greater than you, who have not
even come close to a solution. Surely you can have faith in them. Even
this minimum of faith will be enough. You will find many members who
have crossed the threshold just this way. All of them will tell you
that, once across, their faith broadened and deepened. Relieved of the
alcohol obsession, their lives unaccountably transformed, they came to
believe in a Higher Power, and most of them began to talk of God."
