Don’t I have to be religious to follow a 12 step program?
No. Although people who first join a 12 step program may think you have to be religious to join, you do not. All the 12 step program asks you to do is to find a Higher Power (a power greater than yourself). This doesn’t have to be “God.” It can be anything you want it to be, as long as it isn’t a person. Many members choose to look at 12 step meetings themselves as their Higher Power. 14.) I’m in OA/in a city that doesn’t have OA, are you willing to sponser? I’m willing to sponser. However, depending on when you ask me, I may not be available to sponsor you. But don’t be afraid to ask! For more about sponsoring, please click here.
