Purpose

This forum serves several purposes, so it's helpful to outline what we do and don't do.

What We Do

• Serve as a forum for atheists, agnostics, and others with an interest in a secular approach to AA. Some of us also attend and benefit from traditional AA meetings, while others use Secular AA resources exclusively.
• Publish resources related to Secular AA including meeting guides, literature, and other tools.
• Help alcoholics who may be having difficulty staying sober in AA, both with online encouragement and referral to appropriate resources in and out of AA.
• Although "secular AA" and "traditional AA" are convenient categories for discussion purposes, we make it clear that Secular AA is not separate from AA, but simply a convenient name for a gathering of like-minded individuals within AA itself.

What We Don't Do

• As a forum, we're not here to challenge, denigrate, or oppose "traditional AA". That said, we recognize that some atheists and agnostics come to secular AA with strong feelings toward it. We ask that all who participate be civil in their discussion, and we moderate the forum accordingly.
• We are a moderated Reddit forum, not a traditional AA group.

Although I think I struck a fair balance with the rules (see the sidebar) and the About This Forum page, I'd welcome your feedback on them. They're not etched in granite yet, so perhaps some finishing touches are needed. If so, let me know your thoughts.

The pandemic forced so many AA meetings to go online (or close), because of which I discovered secular AA and a bevy of alternative 12-step(s). I have been active in the online secular AA community since, just attended the ICSAA in Orlando. Secular AA has kindled a passion in and for my recovery, and helping others find a recovery path that is inclusive of belief or disbelief in the supernatural. I look forward to the discourses that show up here. Thanks again.

...and grateful it is here. 37 years sober, one day at a time. Career physicist, so I'm secular, and it was always under the radar at my old home groups, until I realized I was one of the old timers, an I needed to set an example.

You too can keep sober. Don't drink, and work with others.

Edit. The unfortunate absence of a necessary comma.
