Getting Sober Without God is Absolutely Possible

Recovery

Seems to be a bit conflicting to the idea of not being the center of the universe or having an ego etc.

Confusing. But if it's keeping you sober, good for you!

I find it all to be a bit confusing, which is why I stopped trying to figure it all out. Who am I to know the answers to all of this. I find peace in not knowing, and not having to prove or disprove anything. Live and let live. Let’s all recover and be more loving and tolerant of one another

No conflict at all. You're Overthinking it. Definitely not worth debating

Please don't confuse my confusion with intolerance!

Personally I'd rather base my life choices on things I understand, that's just me. I don't function well on something I just don't get.

I shouldn’t have replied to your comment. It was more of a general reply to all, and not meant to be directed just to you. My apologies for that. Your post on this topic is great, and very much appreciated. I can only imagine the intolerance you (and others) receive on a daily basis for choosing to believe differently than the masses. Nobody should have to defend themselves regardless of which side of the discussion you fall on. I think your frustration shows from time to time when you defend your point of view by pointing out flaws in other’s beliefs. It’s totally understandable because the masses are doing the exact thane thing to you. Furthermore, I do believe your voice is not just for you. I think you have taken an important stand for those who need to hear your message. We are all in this together. There are countless people suffering from this disease that are walking away from help because they have issues with this very topic. So, I apologize for my direct reply to you, and can see how you would think I was calling you out. I appreciate your pov, and encourage you to keep spreading the good word my brother :peace_symbol:

Do you pick meetings based on times that work for you? It just seems hard to pick which one.

Aww man I wasn't offended by anything you said at all. I don't care if people disagree with me or anything, I like good discussions. I simply want people to be more empowered.

Thank you for the kind words, SoFlo.
