[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 629281, member: 17542"] It is often said in 12-step meetings: Don't let whether or not you believe in God become a barrier. You simply have to believe in something greater than yourself. The Universe, Nature, the group itself, the doorknob, goodness, mercy, whatever. If you break down the 12 steps and even take the God part out of them if you so choose, they are simply a wonderful way to live life. I am a Christian, and I see God as my Higher Power, in the interest of full disclosure. I have heard people say that some 90% of people who are in recovery have done it with 12-step. There are some, and I know there are some on this board, who know of people who have done it without 12-step so that is definitely possible. The point of my post is this: You don't have to believe in God to participate in 12-step. [/QUOTE]
