Some ppl use the word God in AA rooms as Good orderly Direction (i think of that is doing the 12 steps w/a sponsor .)some don't hold hands or take part in the lords prayer. no 1 forces you 2.but if u are willing and honest (which u seem to b). you will find Family and friends in AA. and once u have changed by doing the steps(program of AA With a sponsor). I have witnessed many get a closer bond with all around them,It's a journey what u have to lose? Trying to get yourself well will get u well..

I'm an agnostic/atheist (i.e. i don't know nor care if there is a god) but i will say that this guy has made me really want to change... prayer is as useful to me as fairy dust but i really want to quit drinking and he has provided something that my friends and family could/would not provide and thats support

12. I then tried to proselytize this insane religion, saying that the law is wrong and that it is spiritual, and not religious, even though I could not see any meaningful distinction between the two, nor do the courts in the United States.
