Yes, I find this irritating, too. AA really is not for everybody. Everywhere on this site our recovery is criticized and suspect if we're not big book banging zealots- as if we can't "really" be happy if we're not in the program. I guess I was hoping there was one place on this site where christian folks respected our need to have one place, just one freaking place where we aren't constantly smacked in the face with "god" talk and where we could occasionally vent about a program that to me, certainly is cult-like. Auuughh! Vent over.
