It is very dangerous to surrender your mind and yet addicts do it all the time-- surrender to the substance, person, drug, etc. and they place their lives in great peril every time. Surrendering your life to a Higher Power is no more dangerous or irrational than the drug, and the wisdom of the steps encourages this surrender. Many recovering addicts have found peace and healing in this surrender, and the wisdom of the steps does not require that your Higher Power be God. I say God-- he's my HP. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894198889834343321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407227988973802015.post-59355844908002585062011-04-04T11:57:22.298-05:002011-04-04T11:57:22.298-05:00Just because you are a recovering addict and found...Just because you are a recovering addict and found the strength to help your self does not mean a god exists. Your comments are atrociously illogical. Wanting a god to exist to appease your fears and insecurities doesn't mean one does exist.<br /><br />Asking someone to give a "loving higher power a shot" is asking to believe without evidence. You are expect me (as a first criteria for the existence of god) to accept his existence without proof. This is a contradiction---How can this be done? Why should anyone surrender their mind? I cannot think of anything more irrational and dangerous.Joe Bigliogohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045783072385552990noreply@blogger.com
