Hi kiwi! and Welcome (back?). I'm working the AA steps but am not really doing the AA program (meetings and all). The religious aspect of it had been very hard for me to swallow, but admitting that there is a power greater than me is fairly easy. I just can't seem to call that Higher Power "God" - even though it is, He is, one and the same.
I'm glad you're seeking to quit as such a young age! Hang in here with the rest of us.
