Believe that we are all new creatures, when we surrender to the program of recovery. That is why I can go to a meeting, no matter what their religious beliefs are, and can identify. If I compare, I stay sick. I got to a year sober and didn't know who God was. I had to go on a spiritual quest and make my God personal and build a relationship with Him.

One of the reasons that I could accept the program was the fact that all are welcome to join and recover. That is what brought the freedom from addiction for me. I was no longer an outcast, but I was a part of the whole, and were One in God, and as it says in the Big Book, a Higher Power. A God that wasn't me. That new creature was reborn into a new way of life and thinking.
