Having trouble with Alcoholics Anonymous and God?
Question by Ian: Having trouble with Alcoholics Anonymous and God?
Hi. My name is Ian and I’m an alcoholic and drug addict. I’m in an intensive outpatient program at a rehab center. A requirement for the program is that I attend 8 AA/NA meetings. I went to my first one last night. It was in a church basement and there was lots of talk about God and staying sober through his graces. I’ve heard this same kind of talk at group. I’m an strong agonist atheist and think that it is dangerous to build a foundation of sobriety on fantasy. I’m basing my recovery not what makes me feel good but on what is true.
How do I continue my treatment without having to get religion involved. Thanks.

There are groups like Rational Recovery that leave religion out.
