I am an agnostic. I have been to a AA meeting exactly once so I don't have any experience. The reason I don't go to any kind of meeting is that I had a hard time with what I saw as a fundamentalist attitude that pervaded the group to which I went. But someone up there in the thread made a very good point. Maybe it is me who is being intolerant of them. I know AA has saved many people. My mother got sober through AA and she became very God centered. I was glad she was sober but I could hardly stand it when she'd go on about The Lord. But maybe I'm allowing some old resentments concerning my mother get in my way. Thank you for providing much food for thought.
