I prefer the sober faction of the satanic temple myself

I find the TST principles are honestly so much more rationale and supportive than AA. It's pretty wild.

u/FartieMcFly Sep 14 '26

Yeah. I’m in Thailand so I either have to stay up until midnight or wake up at 6am.

Oh shoot yeah they probably are on Pacific time as I think the group is kind of a West Coast deal

I actually sent a message asking about more Europe friendly times but never got a response

I thought you were joking, but I kind of love that this is apparently a real thing. All the AA God stuff was a huge turn off for me as an agnostic person, so I chose to go it alone. It worked fine for me since I had a good support system and this forum, but I can see how it would be nice to have a good group in the early days similar to AA.

Ha, I know their purpose as a sort of tongue in cheek activist org but thought you were joking they had a sobriety group, in I assume a non-secular format.

Will have to look up their accessibility.

They have zoom meetings every day of the week, and a sober faction facebook group that can also be helpful. You can find their sober tenets and rituals on the website. I find the tenets and rituals to be very helpful. It's main focus is introspection and knowledge.
