I hope you find something you can work with. You are right on one thing, your options are limited and so is your time.
True. I am not a church goer. Like I said, I tried to be one and it didn't work for me. In fact I went a little nuts, and that was after having taken the steps. I do have some definite spiritual practices, but those have nothing to do with attending church. For some people, church is one of their practices. As for me, I belong to a church that is everywhere and nowhere and is not made with hands.

There are lot of people, both in AA and outside of AA that spout off opinions about experiences they've never had. This is just another example of that, not condemning anyone, but it is a fact. I've been guilty of same. I spent years talking out of my a** about subjects of which I knew little or nothing.
