Higher power is a term used in a 12-step program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, to describe "a power greater than yourself." Although many participants equate their higher power with God, a belief in God or in formal religion is not mandatory; the higher power is intended as a personal representation of the user looking outside themselves for help. Many AA members regard the meeting itself as their higher power, as described in the book Alcoholics Anonymous.
