Nothing says the higher power must be divine.People who believe in weird higher powers such as aliens, doorknobs, and penisis probably do not have much success in AA. Then again, people who believe in god do not have much success in AA, so....
When they say "fake it 'til you make it" or some other idiotic platitudes that AA is famous for, it really means "fake it until you're brainwashed." In other words, keep believing until something good happens in your life that you can falsely attribute to whatever your flavor of higher power is, and thus confirm your belief with a fallacy of false assumption.
