What is AAA like for an agnostic?

This writer is agnostic, and has never had a problem with AA. It seemed foolish to him to allow the fact that some people's concept of a higher power was different from his to keep him from enjoying the effects of a program that was obviously of help to so many people. I simply reminded myself that the higher power or God as I understood him was, for me, the acknowledgment of the fact that I had been unable to stay sober on my own and needed help. For me, the Higher Power was the AA group, and G.O.D. was "good, orderly direction." It has always seemed to me that the people who make a big deal out of the God issue are simply looking for a convenient excuse to avoid the work that is required to stay sober.
