Mourning Process
I also totally relate to wanting to sleep it away. Been there, done that, still tend to do that. It's not dealing with the problem though. AA does focus a lot on a religious God. Even at the end of the meetings they close with the Lord's prayer. I take this time to simply be quiet and focus on the spiritual part of all of us together in the sense of a greater spirit in the room...in that circle.
The readings, the basis - was founded through a religious way with hope. But religion IS NOT PUSHED!! I don't work the AA program, but I do attend some meeting. I'm NA. We learn to find a Higher Power that works for each of us as individuals!!
