Today I usually go to my weekly AA meeting, but for the past 2 weeks I haven’t. The Christmas season has been a rough one again for me. Although I work the SMART Recovery program, AA still holds a place of interest and deep conflict for me. In one way I see myself going to the meeting as a way to gain some spiritual tolerance. I also like the heretical idea of a God of ones understanding in AA. I think that is what drew me to the UUA church in the first place. The fact that their early church leaders were labeled a heretics, some were burned at the stake. I guess I am a heretic’s heretic with my non-theistic belief system in a quasi-religious program. So I will go to the open meeting this morning and see if I can learn something about me, AA and a way to peaceful coexistence between the two.
