In reply to AA scares me and the big book makes me crave...., posted by Caper on June 17, 2004, at 6:34:55
For seven years, I went to AA meetings, some years more regularly than other years. I was never comfortable with the material. The people were, for the most part, kind and concerned, yet they sounded so much alike. Somehow after several months of regular attendance, I would begin to sound like just them and less like myself.
Sobriety was elusive.The religiousity of the program does not sit right with me. I know AA says it is a spiritual program, yet it is a Christian based religious spiritual program.
Those who find what they need there should, by all means, remain.
I chose, finally, to accept my doctor's offer for Antabuse and attend a program for patients with emotional intensity disorder.
I hope this continues to be a road for me.
