Was there anything about alcohol ??
Best AA Lead I have heard in years The 12 Steps could help millions of sick people Recover Maybe sick Christians as Well
Please tag “Atheist”. We don’t want to scare away the newcomer with a speaker who doesn’t speak about God and a story that lacks depth and weight.
So-So speaker. I rate this one star because she states, in an AA meeting, that she is a practicing atheist and belief in God is not necessary to work the AA program. Sigh. Maybe she will read the big book some day. My prayers are with her and other suffering alcoholics (myself included at times).
Oh boy. I guess God as we understand him is meaningless. We are not cured, but Bill W thanks God for curing him. Is that God you speak of Allah? Is it Jesus? Which one? This crop of Big Book thumpers are very sick. It’s shifting alcoholic thinking into obsessive compulsive behavior. “The speaker didn’t say this, the speaker didn’t mention God enough, the speaker didn’t say recoverED, the speaker didn’t mention armed with the facts…..” That is sick. That is not sobriety. Yes, it mentions God in the Big Book. Yes, I know Bill W was a believer of Jesus. Do you go by the steps, or how by what you think Bill W meant? It’s a little harder to read the book as an atheist, because you know they don’t really mean “as we understand him.” However, it’s pretty petty to knock a speaker because you didn’t hear enough of Allah. That’s the God you were thinking, wasn’t it? I’ll take her sobriety over an angry guy like a Russell S or Chris R any day.
Thank you so much for sharing! I really related to everything you said and I really enjoyed your story.
Fear going on
