I don't know if my first meeting was a turning point or if I was just ready to face it. For me, once I went to AA, I'd be committed to sobriety and I swore I'd never go. My car is full of bumper stickers and cliche's, but I sure won't put one on there that says One Day At A Time or Let Go And Let God. I thought the second A means anonymous. What bothers me the most is that they say they're not about religion, but at the end of the meeting I found myself in an awkward position, holding hands while they recited the Lord's Prayer. That's the one thing that will keep me away. And no, you're not an athiest just because you don't follow cristrianity.
Sorry to turn the subject, but that religion part really bothered me, and I'm sure I can't be the only one.
Hey sfgirl, I have the book Sober For Good buried here somewhere. I never read it because I never intended on being sober for good. Thanks, I'm going to go dig it out.
