I've been doing good. I checked out my first couple of AA meetings to see what they were like (and also for in-person support as I relapsed and got smashed last Tuesday after my first attempt, 9 days or so; on my 10th day sober now). As I suspected, the Judeo-Christian concept of God was envoked quite predominantly (so to say, "And HE will remove all of my character defects!"), but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be given my location.

Trying to figure out if there is some sort of Higher Power that I can reconcile with my secular nature in order to continue attending said meetings. Perhaps Evolution? The scientific process? Simply the fact that I am alive and free to experience this awe-inspiring universe, if ever so briefly?

Whatever it may be, Stay Strong and Sober, Friends.
