“Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”

“Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” — Alcoholics Anonymous (1939) · Chapter 5 · How It Works

Where it comes from

Step Two as printed in Chapter 5 of the 1939 first edition.

Today’s reflection

“Came to believe” — a process, not a lightning bolt. Nobody is asked to arrive believing; they’re asked to stay long enough to come to it. For plenty of members, the first higher power was simply the group itself: a roomful of people doing together what none of them could do alone, which is by definition a power greater than themselves. Start there if you need to. The door is wider than it looks.
