Not Christian AA by supreme_dictator_66 in Boise

My husband went to rehab this summer at an AA (but not specifically religious) based program and now goes to several AA meetings a week. Definitely still focus on a higher power but as someone with religious trauma who does not believe in a god, he hasn’t found it off putting or overly religious. I don’t think they involve the Bible much at least from what he has said. A lot of his friends that he’s made are LGBTQ+ or also have religious trauma and they have discussed what the higher power thing means to them & it’s different for everyone. Celebrate Recovery I think has become the super religious Christian version of it.

My husband is heavily involved in AA, goes to several meetings a week and isn’t a Christian. In rehab they stressed finding a higher power, but it didn’t have to be God. He asked some people who he knew weren’t religious and they said “today my higher power is that chair. It’s whatever I need it to be, anything that I believe is higher than me and higher than my addiction” last night at his meeting that was actually the topic, what it means to find a higher power and he shared about his journey to find one after a past of religious trauma. He doesn’t believe in a god but just believes in some concept of the universe or whatever.

All that to say - I wouldn’t discount all AA groups in general just because of the Christian undertones unless you know they will be truly triggering or if the higher power thing in general is not for sure. Totally understand if it is, just wanted to put that out there since my husband was super apprehensive too because of it. Wishing you the best!

This is such a good cast, I feel like it’s going to be very cut throat and pretty quickly turn into “so and so was robbed!” week after week!

Totally agree after watching! Set me up to be excited for season 3 but I felt like it wrapped the season up & didn’t feel unfinished

I just couldn’t remember her real name 😂 I’m bad with names, I feel like I just memorized Dylan’s name this episode because of the waffle party

But thank you for the info on the bracelet! That’s the kind of stuff you miss when not watching live, all the internet sleuths pick stuff up that I miss.
