No. A.A suggests Powerlessness in the first step. The word problem is not mentioned.


As for the conditioning of powerlessness in regards to relying on an influenced idea of "God," it appears that man operates disconnected from his real self, which is vibration, liken to the source from which he came, which is powerful.

"Powerlessness" is the conditioned state man is in, on many levels.
Religion, A.A, and many other organizations are relying on the easily influenced mind of man, to keep their control.
Giving man a false sense of control, which he derives from a dependence on an outside source like religion, or separate God, which is based in hypothesis. He rarely thinks to question his alliance to this dependence due to a subconscious tendency toward powerlessness (which he thinks is good) that is coupled with layers of fear if the very thought to question ( empower ones self ) even arises in his mind.
Or if he is free of thought long enough to vibrate toward his unconditional connectedness, which contradicts his programming, he shames himself once he gets to minding again.

The moment I allow, whether consciously or unconsciously, a dividing thought between myself & my equal vibration which many call God, I am influenced by the illusion and dis-empowered.

The vibration in unconditionally knowing that I need not belong to, or believe in anything, in this moment, is exercising bliss.
