I prefer to think of the God they talk about in AA as a Group Of Drunks.
If I'm at a meeting and it's my turn to read the steps sometimes it's so hard for me not to replace God with Aphrodite and say the word Her rather than Him. I get a smirk on my face and giggle to myself, but in the end it would only make others angry with me. I'm codependent so I must make sure no one is ever mad at me lol. So I just think about how awesome it would be if someone else came in and did it instead of me.
Same with the prayer at the end, we could be singing kumbaya for all I care. I just hold hands and look around the room and think about the cookies over on the snack table.
I'm a year sober. I don't follow anyone else's program, I didn't do any steps. Your mileage may vary.
