I think where some programs have a parting of the ways are that the programs like AA, NA, CoDA encourage YOU to determine who or what that higher power might be instead of forcing the idea that it must be God. I think Kath has a great idea here. I've known her for awhile now and have found her to be thoughtful, caring and supportive. I know she would never steer anyone in the wrong direction.I can agree withher on this as long as I dont run into more Bible Thumpres, no offense intended, but I have at other 12 step group meetings I have gone to with friends.
