Having Trouble With Alcoholics Anonymous and God?
Question by Ian: Having trouble with Alcoholics Anonymous and God?
Hi. My name is Ian and I’m an alcoholic and drug addict. I’m in an intensive outpatient program at a rehab center. A requirement for the program is that I attend 8 AA/NA meetings. I went to my first one last night. It was in a church basement and there was lots of talk about God and staying sober through his graces. I’ve heard this same kind of talk at group. I’m an strong agonist atheist and think that it is dangerous to build a foundation of sobriety on fantasy. I’m basing my recovery not what makes me feel good but on what is true.
How do I continue my treatment without having to get religion involved. Thanks.

You should simply ask the people to save their religious talk for a later time.
Try Rational Recovery. Good luck dude.
Im a christian but im not going to start preaching at you or ramming my beliefs down your throat. but basically, for some people, their faith gets them through some tough times which is, i suppose, what those people are talking about.What you have to do is to find what will get you through those tough times and hang on to that, let whatever that is see you through the dark times.
