AA as an atheist

[Rstone5]

Phoenix, my friend and companion. I agree with the post above most entirely.

But I tend to think the word 'atheist' allows 'theists' to define my agenda for me and maybe I shouldn't allow that.

No one in a meeting has judged me or put me down for my beliefs or the fact that when I came to the rooms I was probably more an addict than an alcoholic. I sure DO have a desire to keep from drinking and using. All of the steps have been the only answer that has worked for me.

By changing my behavior through the steps my thinking has changed. There's happiness and sadness. We have a lot of challenges at the moment but we can face up to them. Be brave, stay home, be careful, best of luck to you and yours!
