Topic: Recovery Without God

Addicts and alcoholics follow a fairly predictable route from drinking/using to stable abstinence and recovery, whether they believe in God or not.

The addict gives up on thinking for themselves, because it’s too dangerous.

Changing how we live isn’t easy to accomplish, even with step-by-step instructions.

We can “turn it over,” not because we believe there is a God who will do something for us or to us, but because we understand that recovering from addiction depends on outside help.

Plenty of addicts and alcoholics starting the journey of recovery from addictive disease can’t bring themselves to accept the spiritual program that’s helped so many. There are other options.
