@DRDNIBOY Read how it works in the big book Maybe u well have a better understanding. It`s whomever your higher power is. Religion is only for those that are religious.

Fact 1 - I was highly addicted to drugs and alcohol

Fact 2 - Never knew how to form meaningful relationships with my own family, let alone anyone else

Fact 3 - Tried becoming more mentally stronger, driven, motivated

Fact 4 - Tried every other way including trying religion, therapists, abstinence, geographical changes, before trying the "cult and cliches" as I saw it.

Fact 5 - AA/NA worked for me and saved my life.

Hate all you want, Im living well. Can you honestly say you are? Lie to yourself

I'm a die hard agnostic I can tell you there are people in AA that try and force there ideas down your throat! I buy into the books and the steps and the traditions and what I do outside of the rooms is no one's business! Been sober for 2 years.
