info_outlineDo you believe in God? What about a higher power? If you aren’t a religious person, the idea of a higher power being part of your recovery can make you feel hesitant about moving forward.

This “something” permeates everything, accessible everywhere.
If I were to impose a name,
I would call it the “Dao,” the “Way,” or “Higher Power.”
This Way is functioning everywhere, ever-flowing and always returning.
Man follows Earth, Earth follows the Universe,
