If someone is baptized into the Catholic
Faith, religion, family, schooling and decides
not to attend church anymore, in my opinion
I don't think they are doomed to hell or that
God has disowned him or her.
I was taught the AA program of recovery
25 yrs ago and continue to use it as I travel
along my spiritual journey in life.
When I brought 2 beautiful babies in
the world yrs ago, we had them baptized
in the Catholic Church and blessed in the
my in'laws Disciples of Christ Christian
church that opens their doors to all
religious denominations.
My kids began with the Catholic schools
and after relocating to a new state we
enrolled them in the public school. They
also made various friends all in different
religions.
Their friends invited them to their church
services and to me I thought that was
awesome and always told my kids that
as long as you have faith and live life
right then you will taken care of.
That it didn't matter to me where they
got their religion just as long as they had
it as a part of their lifes.
I figured in the long run they would
become adults with families of their
own and what we as parents taught
them along the way then they would
carry it into their own lives.
I believe the same thing with recovery.
It doesn't matter what kind of program
you choose to use in helping you achieve
a sober or clean life for yrs down the road
just as long as you learn it, absorb it, apply
it to all areas of ones life.
AA has worked for me, but I love reading
about other helpful ways to enjoy life
healthy, happy and honest from other
recovery programs available today.
What ever program works for you
and you choose to follow and incorporate
in your own life and that will help you
live a healthy, happy, honest life, then
by all means work it in ur life to keep
you alive.
