Higher Power

Within Alcohol Anonymous there is a lot of talk about 'god' or your 'higher power', the first couple of times i attended AA I was a bit wary of this, as I am not a religious person, so felt a little put off thinking the whole program could be religious based. This thought was soon squashed and the real meaning of the word 'god' has been made obvious and it has nothing to do with the religion, at least to the people who don't want it to.

I have heard many talks from people explaining how they are not religious yet their 'higher power' or 'god' has helped get them through and keep strong away from alcohol, i used to balk at these talks and felt they were contradicting themselves, but over time i have come to understand what they really meant and with that it has given me a whole new understanding of the word 'god'.

So i started to give my higher power a bit of though, something to help hold me accountable something to turn to when things start getting tough and the idea of drinking starts to creep back into my mind.

My goals and ambitions have always been rather high, some would say too high, but I have always been comfortable with them and felt anything is possible in this life if you put your mind to it and work hard enough to get it! However these goals and ambitions were always just a thought & dream while I was drinking I had the ideas and had the want but picking up that first beer or stepping in the pub was always the easier option.

Since being sober that has changed, I have started several small projects this blog being one of them and I continue to follow through with them, I am revelling the new found energy and ambition and feel as if this is what was missing from my life.

This is why I feel my higher power is the ambition and want to succeed that I have!
