I'm an agnostic and will not pretend to have faith when I don't. So the "higher power" I surrender to is the universe in a more abstract sense. It's complicated but on an emotional level it feels like giving myself over to fate, or to put it another way, trusting that I'm a part of a complex system that in some ways is benevolent (at least enough so that life exists and we've evolved).

This approach doesn't fly with all AA groups but it's the best they're going to get from me.

Hope that helps.
