My current sponsor’s higher power was once an imaginary vagina.

It spoke to him and everything.

Try and fit that in the Christianity column.

That made me laugh audibly, and next time I need to refer to a higher power in any sort of conversation, I fully plan to work that in.

If you ever have the occasion to tell your sponsor that this story inspired such a reaction from a random person on the internet, I hope it amuses him.

I shouldn't have to make up a higher power and do anything with that imaginary construct to make it through the steps of a sobriety program, though. The fact that I'd have to lie about it in the first place is the issue - it doesn't matter if other people's higher power is something non-christian or not. I cannot just be myself.
