For instance, AA has some spiritual content. I've seen arguments between atheists on other boards regarding this. Some say a person is worse off going to AA. Others say that if it helps an addict clean up it's certainly a good thing.With AA and other 12 step programs, the term is "higher power of our understanding." Doesn't have to be god. Could be the 12 step group itself, nature, the universe, anything the individual holds higher than him/herself.
