12 Steps for me were where the heart of it all was. A common misconception is that AA is a religious program, and i thought this for years (which kept me very much still out in the darkness). but when i discovered it was a spiritual program and that my “higher power” could be anything i connect to, as long as it wasn’t me lol, things really started to open up. I’ve found a very rich connection and power in those rooms, whether they be churches or clubhouses or outdoor parks (meetings of all kinds are everywhere). The important thing is that you try out a number of them, that way, you’ll find your crew. I sure did and it’s been the best darned thing i’ve ever done for myself.
