If it weren't for Jesus-free AA meetings, I would have never stuck with it.
I am grateful to the first, original atheist AA members, Jim Burwell and Hank Parkhurst, for their efforts in forging a path for the non-followers among us.

Bravo brother Taylor!! I’m also grateful you found your path in AA. I truly believe Bill W intended AA to be open to everyone, regardless of their religious and/or God/HP beliefs. I tried to do this program in a rigid way, and failed. I’ve also learned to make this program work for me. We are not robots. We are human, and have been given the ability to make choices. I consider myself more of an agnostic. That’s what feels most comfortable to me. Doesn’t stop me from working the steps, having a sponsor, going to meeting, and enjoying the fellowship. Keep spreading the message my friend

Just hoping to reach the others that are struggling with the religious flavor/fervor. You know how I do. Haha

Hello! Is there a way to find these meetings in my area?
What's the nearest bigger city to you?
Glad you've got sobriety man, I hope to hold onto it as long as you and forever. Also, there's a song by Arch Enemy called No Gods No Masters; I couldn't help but state that since I dig that band's music.
