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.
