I'm an atheist who has to attend aa everyday (for 2 more months) and have been trying to "work" the program in my own secular way. just realized that my definition can be private to me, which will be not having a sponsor, not doing the 4th and 5th. I know what I have done and need to do to change...and will continue going to aa because I have to and to fill my social needs while working on my life goals and healthier lifestyle. I'm feeling very empowered!! : )
