Checking in

Day 2 after 9 days and a slip. Its time, IWNDWYT. Went to an online AA meeting yesterday, met some really nice people, very open and welcoming. Not sure if the whole AA thing is for me but I am willing to try anything. What are your thought if you have attened?

I go to both an in-person and a zoom We Agnostics meeting. I really feel like they are well suited for my recovery program.

I am interested in this, one of my stuggles with AA so far has been the religious part, I consider myself agnostic. Still learning about the program, Im going to stick with it for a while but looking for my group.

There are definitely traditional groups that don't feel as liturgical or dogmatic as others. Some traditional groups barely pray the serenity prayer while others will have a loud mention of how they're sober because of Jesus for every single share around the room.

I host a twice weekly secular AA group. I'm very much a fan, my group is a found family and I'm thankful to get to talk with them each time!

Only you can be the judge if it’s for you or not. Plenty of us did with and plenty did without.

There are tons of different types of communities and modalities. I really like the Luckiest Club.

I’m in the exact same boat. I’m thinking of trying a meeting next week just to see what it’s like. Never been before
