Welcome, Stasia. I am in recovery but do use a 12 step program. However, I have heard others in recovery on A/N mention they do not like the 12 step program. I would be glad to discuss this with you.
Hi Stasia Welcome to this world of rationality, truth and peace, where common sense and science lead to freethinking wisdom --- as you know as a non believer like us. We invite you to join the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 730 discussion topics and 3600 members.
After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
Hmm, what's NA? I'm not familiar with the Acronym. Is that just another of the many 12-Step clones? Narcotics Anonymous or something along those lines?
It's a problem. I think the non-12-Step, secular programs are mostly just in large urban areas, while the 12-Steps are everywhere.
Yeah, the Higher Power thing is pretty wacky. I've heard some people say that it doesn't have to be God or something like that. Your higher power could be a tree.
Umm ... dude ... that's freaking stupid. I'd have to take drugs before I could embrace a tree as a higher power.
Not sure what to suggest, except perhaps basic Google searches for the various secular support groups. I haven't looked for anything like that.
Fortunately, I recognized my insanely addictive personality, in my late teens, and I stayed the hell away from alcohol and other mind-altering substances, except for caffeine. I abuse that badly enough to indicate what I would be like with any of the others.

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…
This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

Hmm, have you looked up groups like Secular Sobriety and tools like that? Those are a lot better than the 12-Step groups.

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists.
I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since Michigan's climate is changing.
