Answer by Lha Bho
Well, The second step of the 12 steps of AA requires the belief in a “Higher Power”. So in fact, this is actually most similar to initiation into the Secret Society called Freemasonry. In Freemasonry, initiates are required to have a belief in a Higher Power than themselves, which could be anything, granted it is a Higher Power.

Also, it was Carl Jung that apparently inspired the Creator of AA to…create AA. Carl Jung was asked what could Cure Alcoholism, and he replied something to the effect of a belief in A Higher Power or the influence thereof.

Actually the phrase was: Spiritum contra spiritus = Higher Power opposes alcoholism – Jung

Question by ? ?: Should I start attending AA?
I am a 23 year old female and I am an alcoholic. After a recent break-up, my drinking got significantly worse. I have finally realized that i have a serious drinking problem. I look back over the years and basically I have driven drunk probably over a hundred times – but sooner or later i will get caught. My family, specifically my parents have had enough of my drinking. My mom wants me to go to AA meetings and offered to come with me. Part of me really will miss alcohol… its a crutch.. its my fun and even an emotional release. I am going to be starting medical school soon and i will never succeed in any career unless i get this under control. Is it childish of me to request my mother come withme to AA meetings…….. im afraid to go
