Must one hide one's faith in AA? (I'm not in AA thought the twelve steps helped me a lot).
i dont have a problem with it, but ifi do, its my problem and not the other persons.

i am also a Christian, but when it comes to AA, i want to help any who suffer from alcoholism. my focus there is helping others recover from alcoholism. there many people that come into A that were beat up by religion and i dont want to push them away from something that could help them tremendously.
i didnt want anything to do with the bible, religion or the God of the bible when i got into AA and i mut not gorget what it took t get me to where i am today: patience.
