thanks for sharing about those books. i'm sure others will benefit from the info.
i struggled with the higher power thing too in early recovery. i wanted to believe but it wasn't there. how could i really believe he was there for me? others maybe, but not me. one day i discovered the miracle. i have no idea what caused the transition other than meetings, my sponsor, the lit, etc. a dear, dear friend bought me the booklet/AA approved, came to believe. it helped me a lot. i was so grateful it happened for me. then i knew i was never alone.
