Please do not confuse Spirituality with Religion.

Spirituality as AA teaches it encouragaes us to find inner peace by recognizing A Higher Power of our own understanding.

Religion asks us to accept a specific set of rules and practices.

If Bible Study is disturbing your serenity you need to step back for a little.

Religion evolved for one purpose only: so that man could try to explain the world in which he lived and to find inner peace.

If you are not at peace with your God or with your religion then you are in the wrong business.

One religion cannot serve the 5 billion people on our planet.

If you are uncomfortable with AA try Smart.

You can cry as much as you want just remember to dry your eyes when you are done and then do something about the problem.
