Many of us understand God to be simply whatever force keeps us clean.

Some of us enter recovery with a working understanding of a Higher Power. For a lot of us, however, God is a troublesome word. We may doubt the existence of any sort of Power greater than ourselves. Or we may remember uncomfortable experiences with religion and shy away from the God stuff.
Starting over in recovery means we can start over in our spiritual life, too. If were not comfortable with what we learned when we were growing up, we can try a different approach to our spirituality. We dont have to understand everything all at once or find the answers to all our questions right away. Sometimes its enough just to know that other NA members believe and that their belief helps keep them clean.

Just for today: All I have to know right now about my Higher Power is that it is the Power that helps keep me clean.
Who am i to say there is no God....I was the one face down in the gutter who could not do a thing to help myself until i asked for God to help then my life changed.
