It's really good to hear from you again on here. Yes I fully agree, I really struggled with the god aspect too. I didn't think I was going too, but it really rubbed me up the wrong way. However, I also fully agree that AA or any group can be vital to meet people who are sober and have had some similar experience with quitting booze. I also agree that some groups can be negative and some more positive, I found that my group in Thailand was great and positive, then outside not so much. It just depends on the core members. Good to have other options! I'm so grateful for the internet!!! Look forward to reading some of your pieces again soon
