I am an atheist and still find a lot comfort in AA meetings. In fact, I find Quad-A (Alchoholics Anonymous for Atheists and Agnostics) meetings annoying and pretentious. I just enjoy spending time around people who have gone through what I have. I would say at least half of my homegroup are atheists. I always looked at the old AA adage of "You get out what you put in" a little differently than most. What I put in isn't religious, and I don't necessarily believe I am completely powerless, but what I do believe, is that if I stay dedicated and try to use the strengths others have gained from experience, I'll get nothing but positive things in return.
