We are only operating a spiritual kindergarten in which people are enabled to get over drinking and find the grace to go on living to better effect. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 95
When I came to A.A., I was run down by the bottle and wanted to lose the obsession to drink, but I didn’t really know how to do that. I decided to stick around long enough to find out from the ones who went before me. All of a sudden I was thinking about God! I was told to get a Higher Power and I had no idea what one looked like. I found out there are many Higher Powers. I was told to find God, as I understand Him, that there was no doctrine of the Godhead in A.A. I found what worked for me and then asked that Power to restore me to sanity. The obsession to drink was removed and one day at a time my life went on, and I learned how to live sober.

In the realm of the spirit, the key is to feel reality and not think about it. This comes through action. Children, before they become intelligent develop, evolve and grow based on what they feel and not what they think.
Recovery is that way, regardless of what I think, even about god, my spirituality is based on what I feel and not much of what I think.
