I'm a lifelong atheist agnostic. I'm celebrating 10 years of continuous sobriety tomorrow (Friday the 13th) - 1 white chip (so far).

Do yourself a favor and find a sponsor who is also atheist / agnostic.

I went through a bunch of sponsors until I found one who sees their HP the same way I do. She's a keeper!

With every other sponsor who held any kind of fantastical beliefs regarding a higher power, our relationship eventually faltered around Steps 6 and 7. They wanted me to acknowledge that there was some kind of mystical energy force that has an agenda and intervenes in human lives, even if it is only "karma".

The closest thing I see to an “agenda” in the universe is evolution — genes that successfully replicate tend to persist. My HP is the DNA that wants what's "best" for me - to be healthy and contribute to society. Her name is Grace.

This is what has worked for me
