Sadly, I do agree somewhat with this. I was initially scared by the God talk at first, mostly because God wasn't giving me the selfish things I wanted, but not enough to keep me away from meetings.

I've heard quite a few people share that they were turned off by the spiritual or religious overtones used in AA meetings, so it's not a big topic in our newcomer groups. Our spiritual meetings and closed meetings are another story, most of the talk focuses on our faith in a Higher Power and a God of our understanding.

Fel, I'm so happy to hear that you're trying to learn more about how your HP works in your life. That's true progress and a good message to carry to other newcomers.
