Interesting Day

Went to an AA discussion meeting today. I brought up the topic of alternate 12 steps. This went down like a lead balloon.it seems that this morning in my group there was no tolerance for someone who doesn’t think the AA way. I can understand the concept of ‘Higher Power’ in a way that suits me. ( If I get a pain in my lower right side I will definitely not attempt to take out my own appendix I will leave it to someone who knows what they are doing!)I do have questions about powerlessness over alcohol. I believe it can be released using the Sedona Method and similar techniques.. we are then left with an ability to take personal responsibility over the alcohol and not fob it off unto a magical ‘Higher Power’. I find spiritual peace in Zen and teachers such as Eckhart Tolle. the dualistic me and god approach doesnt do it for me,
So today I am fed up with AA its just not floating my boat..  I can see that I am a bit ‘aff’ as we say in Belfast..
sorry for the rant

Do you like my apple?
