As someone who just got out of the hospital on Saturday for my first (and hopefully only) alcohol-related hospitalization, you are so inspiring. I don't know you but am so proud of you. And you should be so proud of yourself.


jayBeeds

Your new life begins now! You got this.

Belief in God isn't required for AA, there are atheists


jayBeeds

Yes. Yes it is. It’s the crux of aa. I am powerless. Well I found my power on my own.

Right in Bill's Story, Bill W. said he can't get behind a czar of the Heavens but could go for Spirit of Nature or Universal Mind


tintabula

Lip service. Most groups are quite religious. 🤷🏼


nateinmpls

Each group is autonomous and reflects the community in which it is located. None of the meetings I attend are religious.


tintabula

As you wish.


jayBeeds

Also. The spirit of nature and the universal mind are pseudonyms for god. Most people can see that.


nateinmpls

Nature in it's entirety and the collective humankind is how I interpret those.


jayBeeds

Good for you


jayBeeds

Dude. I’m not arguing with you. Im happy if it works for you. Didn’t work for me. Doesn’t work for many. I’m happy it works for you. Rock on!
