It establishes in the addict’s mind in a form of awareness that he or she is part of something greater than themselves. Confidence and belief overrides depression that exists in the minds of addicts and they can find such confidence in a higher power.
A higher power sometimes may use events or occurrences that that enables the addict realize there is a supernatural being at work and the addict cannot comprehend or have control over such occurrences.
