Your "higher power" can be whatever you want it to be, so really you can feel free to be as ironic and abstract as you want. It can be a leaf on a tree. There is some good stuff in AA. I particularly like A.R.T.S. Anonymous, thats Artists Recovering thru the Twelve Steps. They have their booklets online. Not many cities have meetings. They also do phone meetings somehow. But really nobody ever hassled me about the higher power deal.
