basically...lets talk sponsorship!
At a BB study meeting, I heard a woman share and was inspired by her. I like how she talked program and spirituality in a way that was very attractive to me and in no way off-putting or religious. I asked her to sponsor me. Although she is non-secular and church-going, it has had no bearing on our work together. We have been together for over 4 years.

I now sponsor women, from militant atheist to devout religious. My job is to carry the message of the steps to the still suffering alcoholic. I am not a life-coach or counselor. I am only a handrail for the taking of the steps. Each has her own conception of HP/higher-self/universe/nonEGO and it is not me.

Mine is a daily choice (step 3): finite self or infinite universe. Considering the possibilities out there, it is easy to turn over life and will. For me. I have not found "secular vs non" to matter.
