Yeah, That whole “I don’t know nutin.I don’t know how it work. Iknow less the longer I stay sober.”bit does’nt ring true. It’s one thing to”blow ourselves up like prideful baloons.” but false humlity does’nt help anyone. I’ve seen newcomers parrot that crap. But we want to fit in. Can’t be puttin on airs. If I’m look for a sponser,I sure as hell want someone who knows how it works. I love A.A.

It’s funny and irritating at the same time:
If you speak up at a meeting with more than a 6th grade sophistication your accused of being too intelectual…
So I must remain a hillbilly in order to get along at AA?

I did not have God in my life at all nor did I have any glimpse of faith. I am new in my sobriety and it amazes me how the program has already changed my life in so many ways. I know that God is with me and now praying and thanking God had become as normal as putting on my shoes. I am so thankful for AA and the way of life it’s showing me.

I can totally relate to this. I never believed in god because of the ideas other people had always shared with me were so unrealistic. I started trying to believe because I knew my life depended on it, and before long I discovered something amazing. I am greatful AA does not try to force closed minded ideas on anyone because I would not be alive today.

I get a kick out how if someone was a atheist or agnostic,it’s because they were a ‘Man of Science’. I love A.A.
