Agnostics, Atheists & the Twelve Steps

Twelve-step programs emphasize spirituality, which can be challenging for agnostics and atheists. However, many non-religious individuals have found success by interpreting 'Higher Power' broadly — as the recovery group itself, nature, or simply a power greater than addiction. The key is openness to the process rather than adherence to any specific belief system.
