hey eco
i am of the belief that a person may attend a.a and do what they want with it...bigsombrero is on a good tip, and I attend meetings to network with fellow alcoholics. there are many weirdos in a.a, as well as many fine people...I know many atheists who attend also, and make a fist of it.....for me, it is attendance at this, as well as meditation that helps...my partner is also a sober alcoholic, and we help each other......
