flamingredhair,
I walked into the rooms of AA many years ago as a staunch atheist. I recovered by following the directions in the BB, which caused a complete revolution in my way of thinking, and put me in touch with something a lot bigger than me.
Call it God, call it my Better Nature, call it my True Self. Whatever it is, it worked a miracle in my life. I've never had to consider a drink since. That is what AA is about.
