Wow..I didnt know there was such a thing as recovery without God.
I thought everyone had to be NA..AA..Hp..All that stuff.
I dont knock it.
I just dont identify with it.
Although I was brought up to believe there is a God...My family is far from religous.
I guess sometimes I believe. But the whole turning my will over to a Hp is baffling to me.
It works for those who believe I guess. But I dont get it and I dont believe it works like that for me.
Like Tyler said in another thread.
I am in charge of my actions and I am the only one who can change it or do something about it.
I have always believed that. And have had hard times with people in NA when I question some of the religous beliefs.
And they are honest questions. And I get taken the wrong way and everyone starts banging out their sayings like a bunch of zombies. But noone ever gives me a real answer to my questions.
It is kinda creepy.
But that is just my experience.
But anyway. I never knew there was another way to recovery.
I am so relieved there is.
I would like to learn more on this type of recovery.
Thanks.
And I in no way am bashing the NA way or the Christian way.
It just does not work for me.
So I hope this post wasnt out of line. And if it is .I am sorry and it wasnt meant to be.
