I don't feel comfortable around people who are strongly religious, It's been that way for a long time, and so I know that I would feel alienated in AA immediately, I can't be in a program based on religion.
I don't really know what else is out there, and it really hurts that I work at nights, which is when most meetings of any sort take place.
I agree with you on this. I have stayed away from AA for this reason too. Right now I am using sobriety as my rock and surrounding myself with the good advice and stories here at SR to just stay away from the booze. I haven't looked into much else either...If nothing else stay involved here. Good luck!
