So here’s my thought. I am trying to use the word god as an acronym, so that when the word comes up in steps, serenity prayer, etc., this will be my focus. Here is what I have so far, would love suggestions:

G - gratitude
O - openness
D - dignity

Most of the 12 step program is garbage. Yes, there are some helpful things, but it is basically a liberal religion for people with mental issues.

This step, along with my own arrogance, kept me away from my 12-step program for years. When I finally figured it out I realized how simple it could be. What finally worked for me was to accept that by myself I'm not that important or powerful. Only with others; friends, family, city, state, country, planet, even species do I really matter. Only then do I really have any kind of power. I am only one little life amongst billions that have existed on this tiny blue ball in one galaxy amongst trillions of other galaxies. This is my higher power: all these other groups are what gives me, as a relatively unimportant and impotent individual, power. Whenever god, higher power or spirituality is mentioned in the reading, in my mind, I'm thinking about all these other groups and things and my connection to them. This is also one of the ways I work on my humility. I hope I've helped. With you in the struggle.

Yeah, don't feel pressured! Some people need the higher power idea to let go of control. To realize that they don't have control over anything outside of their physical self. What they attribute to being the work of a higher power, I just know it to be the world itself. Things are gonna turn out the same whether they pray for it or not. You got this!
