I would request - once more - that this thread get back to the topic;
Atheists in AA.

The statements bashing AA - or ANY method of getting clean and sober - are not welcomed here. At all. Thanks for your attention to the rules.

Getoverit;
As an atheist, successful in AA, how do you manage your sobriety?

I have been to alanon. It's supposed to be a spiritual program but, it is very Christian based indeed. As a result, I stay silent when it comes to communal prayers about Jesus. But, when individual members speak of Jesus as their HP, I listen respectfully. I don't have to agree. Take what we need...ya know?

Of course, as an individual, I certainly have the right to go to the chair, or to a meeting, and request that a more generic communal sharing be offered. I can request a group conscience be held on the matter. I can leave and find another group if that fails. There's many options for me.

How do YOU manage? I'm honestly interested, and think you may have a lot to offer. Many people live in areas where AA is still the only option.

Shalom!
