I have one week of sobriety. I am glad that I found this group. I went to an AA meeting and hated it because of the talk of a higher power. Being brand new at sobriety I could use any support and friendship that I can find.

There is a number of people like us, you will see this more often the longer you stick around. Most keep it to themselves. If there is anything you may need help with, I am here, and will do my best to relay my experience thus far in a program, that most people believe is "god-centered", when that is very far from the truth of why this works. I have an alternate version of the steps if you are interested. You may contact me through my email-Hornedgod19145@yahoo.com, if you want to talk directly.
Please reach out, the help is out here.
Bill
