The higher power of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous?

Question by Love: The higher power of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous?
Isn’t it foolish for people addicted to substances that make you feel all good inside to surrender themselves to a higher power? First of all the term is all wrong (HIGHer power). Secondly, putting your faith in a supernatural power that is a cheap knock off of the holy spirit is like trading one addiction for another.

What do you think?

Is the Holy Spirit you speak of Jesus or a “spirit” as in drink? There is no such thing as getting rid of a habit, just replacing it with a good one. You need to find something bigger than yourself and narcotics or alcohol to lean on. As far as the HIGHer power…it is supposed to be higher than the high you get from drugs.
