Wendi replied to Dr. Ned Kelly's discussion 'I'm a recovering alcoholic, an atheist, and AA works' in the group Atheists, Addictions, 12 Step Recovery, and Alternatives

I second Carry's post - for the sake of taking the path of least resistance I just recited the book's 3rd step prayer with my sponsors, but it would be great to have a sort of secular mantra to use in its place. Hey, how about this quote…

The last thing that made me laugh was the parting statement made by this ancient old, fossilized AA member who qualified in a meeting last night. The last thing he was, looking out at the room of about seventy-five folks: "Die, you bastards, but don't you dare pick up a drink!"

How's your local group(s)?
All the best.
