I have to admit now, it don't matter to me anymore if one is in AA or secular, or whatever works for you to stay off the alcohol because it made your life unmanageable after the first drink.
The "fix" for me is to see another recover from the drink, to see another human being begin to enjoy life again with some hope for the future and more hope to try and mend their past and help another
Secular or Spiritual, if drinking caused you problems, and ya drove a car or operated machinery where other's live were at stake, alcohol offers no mercy....
