Thanks Ari
The murky waters are clearing. I thought I had moved through this step but it backed up behind me and showed me that I hadn't really.
The trouble I had wasn't with believing in a higher power but understanding that higher power. I have always come from a new age perspective which in many ways lets you make up a god of your own understanding as you go along. Initially I saw this as a pretty easy thing to transfer to AA, I thought it was the same thing and maybe for some people it is.
As the waters clear I see that for me it isn't. I believe that I used my new age beliefs to support my alcoholic, ego thinking. I've had to re-evaluate my understanding of god and that has caused me a lot of pain. But as I do that things are clearing and becoming easier.
Thanks for your interest and support.
