Hi ~ I agree with EVERYTHING Madisgram said. She's exactly right.
As for Step 2, "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity"----That makes alot of people uncomfortable. Many of us were agnostics. We thought that we could stop our madness by ourselves -- but after awhile we had to admit that we needed a spiritual basis of life because our "way" didn't work. We didn't have the 'power' -- so we had to find a power greater than ourselves.
We may talk of God, but it's your OWN conception of God. If you look around the tables, you'll find that the old-timers DO believe in a Power greater than themselves - and most call it God. But yours can be a tree, or the sky or a star.
As long as you have the WILLINGNESS to believe in a power greater than yourself, you'll be ok. 
Lots of times we make the Steps alot harder than they have to be. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
