In recovery, we begin the search for our own Great Reality, even if we don’t believe in organized religion or doctrine. Sometimes we do believe, but it is rather fuzzy and ill-defined. Sometimes our beliefs are not mainstream but more metaphysical or Zen in nature. Some of us are atheists and prefer to look in areas of science rather than the esoteric. No one can tell us what we believe or should believe. We instinctively know there is a Power greater than us, and our job is to define it for ourselves. Defining our Great Reality is a sacred task that is innately private and protected. Our search will sometimes go quickly, most times slowly, but eventually we must define our personal, private, and plentiful Great Reality.

I don't need to find my Great Reality; He isn't lost. My job is to define this Reality so

It works in my life.

We have accepted the Higher Power concept, and have begun to depend on this God to give us more love and the ability to continue to grow in open-mindedness.
