Step Two

Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.  Step Two, Alcoholics Anonymous

Questions from the Contents page in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions:

What can we believe in?  AA does not demand belief; Twelve Steps are only suggestions.  Importance of an open mind.  Variety of ways to faith.  Substitution of AA as Higher Power.  Plight of the disillusioned.  Roadbloacks of indifference and prejudice.  Lost faith found in AA.  Problems of intellectuality and self-sufficiency.  Negative and positive thinking.  Self-righteousness.  Defiance is an outstanding characteristic of alcoholics.  Step Two is a rallying point to sanity.  Right relation to God.

Reading Assignment:
Step Two - Chapters 2-4 in the Big Book
Step One - Page 25-33 in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

Ask yourself:
Do you NOW believe, or are you even WILLING to believe, that there IS a Power greater than yourself?

***This is not meant to substitute getting a sponsor***
***This is not meant to be a comprehensive Step***
***This is meant to be food for thought for me and if it helps you, then, "Thank You God"***
