Faith in AA began when I was at my bottom and didn't have any other choice but to ask for help and trust they could. In time I came to see that what I seemed to fear about the 12 steps was only my misinterpretation. I was afraid, at the time, that I would need to set my beliefs aside and give my self up to some kind of religion. I learned right in the beginning that I could keep all my beliefs and have faith and learn to build upon both.
