Stung, as far as I can tell -- The Steps are soooo simple, that just about ANYONE -- except a Religious Person can follow them.
More generally it seems to be US (and Religious Folks) that cannot cure.
From my 3rd Grade Reading of Step #6 and #7 -- God CAN and DOES cure things.
#6 Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
#7 Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Maybe hit the Big Book a bit? From Chapter 5 "How it Works"
================
Our description of the alcoholic, the chapter to the agnostic, and our personal adventures before and after, have been designed to sell you three pertinent ideas:
(a) That you are alcoholic and cannot manage your own life.
(b) That probably no human power can relieve your alcoholism.
(c)
That God can and will.
If you are not convinced on these vital issues, you ought to re-read the book to this point or else throw it away!
