No NO! WE ARE INSANE…in a manner of speaking. Knowing that alcohol made me insane – making me think that I would be better able to face the police to pick up my grand daughter if I had a “bracer”. I did not drink, but the thought was insane. AA Helped me realize that, not god.

Cult religion is not a good cure for alcoholism, and A.A. most assuredly is a cult religion.
Step Two is just as bad: it teaches people that they are insane, and that only a Supernatural Being can restore them to sanity — which means that they are helpless, and cannot heal themselves.

Thumbs down. “Whether agnostic, atheist, or former believer” then they proceed to use the word god 5x and he/him in capitol letters. I remain an atheist alcoholic, sober and knowing that AA works. I say we stand together and then be bombarded by religious reference… well at a meeting today I will hope the topic mutates more toward believing there is hope for staying sober.

I am very greatful for the members before me. Step two I used the group group as a higher power because I was not ready to believe in God.
