Neither in my case. I just found Him along the way. How much He has helped is debateable.

I had this emailed to me, too, thanks to you and my swiping it off your site.
I used to think G-d introduced me to the program until I got further in my step work, then I thought the program introduced me to G-d.
Today I would say G-d introduced me to the program so that the program could introduce me to G-d.
Whatever, it was. I enjoyed this quote and this site. Thanks for making me aware of it.
Peace,
Scout

What a great question. My answer would be both. Even though I had fired my previous God before getting into the program, my current Higher Power, the one I met after being in the program a while, is the one who steered me to the program. Just because I wasn't aware of my HP working in my life, doesn't mean my HP wasn't there all along. In fact, my HP "changes" all the time, but that's just because I'm getting to know my HP better every day.

Whatever way it happened, I sure am grateful.

Happy Halloween.

I believed there was something "out there" in control of my life before I found AA and I often likened it to an emotionless Force a bit like Star Wars but as I have got more entrenched in the program I have started to feel a warmth from a loving Higher Power not a cold minded force

Seems God got me in the rooms without me knowing it or Him but it was working the Steps that had me come to believe...
