I haven't been coming to SR for long but I've benefitted from the things you've written. You should be aware of that. You should be aware that you help to keep people like me sober, even if we don't say it.

I understand the desire that secularists have to have a place where there is less AA and religious influence. I was very anti-AA before, like you say, I realised I had no choices left about how I got sober. It seems that some people do have those choices, and good luck to them. I'll hang around here because secularists who think AA is simply religious don't understand AA. And if any of them are like me or like you, one day they'll need it.

Setting up a board like this is done with the intention of helping some people, not to get at others. Honesty is a common currency in recovery, isn't it?

Today I'm keeping it simple.
