Person might not be religious.
- jey 11y agoThere are non-religious alternatives, such as LifeRing.
- jonah 11y agoThat's true, on the other hand I know several people who have greatly benefited and who weren't religious. (It seems that unless someone is strongly anti-spiritual, it could be good.) (YMMV of course.)
- abuehrle 11y agoReligion is not a requirement for benefiting from AA. Participants must acknowledge a higher power, which can mean whatever a person wants that to mean.
- cmdrfred 11y agoI have observed no higher power than man. Where does that leave me?
- Nihilartikel 11y agoPerhaps the inverse of acknowledging that, ultimately, man is entirely powerless would work just as well.
- cmdrfred 11y agoI look at the large hadron collider, the apollo program, the curiosity rover, the pyramids of giza, the hoover dam, and the international space station and scoff at the idea that we are powerless. Yes there are problems that we can't solve currently, but humanity is a young race. We'll get there.
