First aa meeting of the day went exceptionally well. There's just something about being around people who know what you're going through and the struggle. There's something so peaceful in listening and realizing you're not alone and not crazy for feeling how you feel.

I'm afraid to go I'm not a religious person :pensive:

I am not a religious person either dear. When they talk about finding a higher power, it is whatever higher power you choose.It doesn't have to be god. It took me a while to see past the god aspect, but truly, it is very minimal.In the work done in the meetings. A higher power is whatever you choose. I hope this helps love.Message me anytime.I'm here if you need to talk.

I don't know what you mean by you're a "good time." I'm not looking for something like that at all. I can't be on this app 24/7. If you'd like to talk sobriety, feel free to message me.

My first sponsor told me that God stands for “group of drunks.” That helped until I regained some spirituality.

So true. I missed my in person meeting this week with celebrate recovery, so I'll have to catch my online AA spiritual principles a day or two for certain.

Glad you got your ground! Way to go!!!

It’s not a religious program it is a spiritual one you just need to believe in a higher power than you… it can be a tree if you want it to be.

My desperation got me in the rooms, but the people have kept me there.

You don't need to be. You can be a full blow atheist/Agnostic and you'd fit in real well.
