&lt;p&gt;I cringed when I first read this step. In my mind, that capitalization of the word &lt;em&gt;power&lt;/em&gt; clearly meant something. And that something was an interventionist God that was going to fix me. I was having none of it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>It’s a Mystery</title><link>https://soberboots.org/2018/01/02/its-a-mystery/</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jan 2018 17:17:12 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://soberboots.org/2018/01/02/its-a-mystery/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 2 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, this step! The savior for so many and the downfall of so many more. The capitalization of Power seems to imply a deity, yet we are told it needn’t be a specific deity or God, a thought that on the surface seems absurd to many of us.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
