It allows members to interpret the idea of a higher power in any way they wish. The objective of AA meetings is simply to provide ongoing support to people who have drinking problems helping them to achieve long-term sobriety. It provides a base to gather in one place and provide support to each other. This type of positive fellowship can go a far way in assisting those who need help.
