Dear friends For all of us who have experienced the loneliness of alcoholism, whether it is at a high society party or homeless on a park bench, AA meetings have a special place in our hearts.

Dear friends Since coming to AA, I have done more research on my attempts to stop drinking than I care to admit. I received an education about my powerlessness that I hope I never forget. I hope you enjoy the blog I wrote about it. https://aaforagnostics.com/blog/step-one-alcoholics-anonymous/ Disclaimer The content of this blog is an AA member's personal experience.

Hi. I have no time whatsoever for the religious fundamentalists in AA. They are giving AA a bad name and in my mind are a disgrace to an otherwise very helpful and supportive fellowship I my self am an agnostic alcoholic with 28 years of continuous sobriety. Secular AA has become a powerful movement in AA https://www.aasecular.org/ I personally do not support or respect the God squad in AA. They talk rubbish and are diametrically opposed to the original all-inclusive ethos of AA that Bill Wilson, AA's founder, always intended for the fellowship

Dear friends Have you ever wondered what is the most effective treatment for alcoholism? Is it therapy or the 12-Steps? I hope you enjoy the blog I wrote about my experiences as a recovering alcoholic and addict. https://aaforagnostics.com/blog/therapies-for-alcoholism/ Disclaimer The content of this blog is an AA member's personal experience.

Thanks for sharing my friend and good luck on your sober journey 🤞☘️🤞 I got sober through AA but acknowledge that AA isn't for everyone The bottom line is we are all alcoholics and we should all give each other the same level of support, irrespective of how we stay sober as individual drunks ☺️ 💟☺️

Dear friends If you are trying to stay sober in AA and are keen to work the steps but don't believe in God, you may find this blog helpful. https://aaforagnostics.com/blog/step-three-alcoholics-anonymous/ Wishing everyone a sober and serene day Disclaimer The content of this blog is an AA member's personal experience.

...........For anyone reading this thread, please be assured that atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers, from its very inception, have always been welcome in AA. It is by no means a requirement to believe in God to recover from alcoholism. All you need is a power greater than you. That could be AA itself, or any other positive power that will help you to stay sober and recreate your life. That's what AA is and has always been. Let Bill Wilson, the co-founder of AA, and author of The Big Book, tell you himself. Responsibility Is Our Theme Newcomers are approaching AA at the rate of tens of thousands yearly. They represent almost every belief and attitude imaginable. We have atheists and agnostics. We have people of nearly every race, culture, and religion. In AA we are supposed to be bound together in the kinship of a common suffering. Consequently, the full individual liberty to practice any creed or principle or therapy whatever should be a first consideration for us all. Let us not, therefore, pressure anyone with our individual or even our collective views. Let us instead accord each other the respect and love that is due to every human being as he tries to make his way toward the light. Let us always try to be inclusive rather than exclusive; let us remember that each alcoholic among us is a member of AA, so long as he or she so declares. Bill W. Copyright © AA Grapevine, Inc.

According to the General Service Office of AA in New York, the Big Book and entire AA program is open to personal interpretation. If you have taken the Big Book literally, it speaks to your absolute terror of being more open-minded. Open-mindedness, is what gives AA it's all-inclusive quality. All-inclusiveness is a spiritual quality, rigid religious fundamentalism is not!

"This was the great contribution of our atheists and agnostics. They had widened our gateway so that all who suffer might pass through, regardless of belief or lack of belief." Bill W.

Dear friends, More and more atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers are coming into AA to get sober. However, this can prove to be a challenge given that the 12 Steps of the program strongly encourage a belief in God. In the past, too many alcoholics have walked away from AA because of the “God” word. I suspect that even more have avoided the program because they see it as some quasi-religion. Their reasons are understandable............ https://aaforagnostics.com/blog/secular-aa/ Disclaimer The content of this blog is an AA member's personal experience.

This man clearly has mental health issues. Surely he should be admitted to a psychiatric unit for a psychiatric assessment before deporting him

You call atheists,agnostics and freethinkers leftists as if there were some kind of political division in AA. There aren't. There are only alcoholics who believe in God and those that either don't or are still seeking. For people who purport to have faith in a loving God, all I am hearing is sarcasm, and judgement. If I ever do convert and become a Christian, remind me to avoid whatever church you attend.
