I opted out of the high power thing, but I remember hearing 12-steppers regurgitate lines like "Your high power doesn't have to be God, it can be anything you want it to be, or anything more powerful than yourself." Ugh. Of all the things I can think of that were more powerful, nothing compared to the power that my alcohol addiction held over me. That being my best example, my high power kicked my ass and almost killed me!!!!!
