An adolescent client of yours has attended several AA meetings. He understands its principles. However, he is having trouble surrendering to a higher power because he was raised in an atheistic, humanist tradition. How do you respond?
A. You tell him he needs to accept that surrender to a higher power
is synonymous with surrendering to God.
B. You indicate that many atheists have been helped by AA and so
surrendering to a higher power should not be a problem for him.
C. You say he does not need to surrender to God but needs to place
an emphasis on creating a spiritual defense against his alcohol
use.
D. You reply that the surrender steps are not as important as the
integrity and serenity steps.
