Navysteve,
It is AA's insistence on finding a HP that makes it intolerably religious to me. I know there are a number of secular people who are successful in AA by choosing their HP to be their dog or something like that, but
to me it's blatantly religious. I do not trust my dog to take care of my alcohol issues any more than I would trust a god to do so. Hence, the religious bent is something that I cannot accept for
my recovery. There are other reasons I do not do AA, and what I do works for me. And that's the whole point of recovery.
