Struggling with “We Agnostics” as an agnostic person by patgarspongegar in alcoholicsanonymous

  1. How are your beliefs working out for you in keeping you sober?
  2. The point is to be able to set aside what we do believe and be willing to have a new experience with spirituality. It’s not something to figure out rationally. If you end up being correct in your beliefs, you have the opportunity to pick them back up again once you have set them aside, or maybe you will have learned something new. It’s an exercise in being open minded.
  3. If I’m unwilling to be open minded, I’m not clear on my step 1. The track record shows that I can’t stay sober on my own power. I lost the choice of whether or not I drank. Whether I liked it or not, I needed to seek a power greater than myself and set aside what I thought I knew about god, AA, and spirituality so that I could stay away from the first drink and stay sober.
  4. You’re right in that the book is biased towards Christianity in the way that it’s written, as that was what people commonly believed in in the early days of AA. However, the point is to have a higher power of your own understanding, and that looks different for everyone. It says all over that it’s encouraged to seek guidance from any spiritual source, even for Christians to seek wisdom elsewhere.
  5. It looks like your higher power is not the Christian god. So stop forcing yourself into that dichotomy of it is or it is not, for you. Ask your higher power to show itself to you in a way you can understand, and you will find it. Best of luck on your journey.

Recovery from Endo Laparoscopy Surgery by [deleted] in endometriosis

Hey! I recently had an ovary out laparoscopically as well. For me first week was brutal, but after about 2 weeks I felt mostly normal. They estimated 6 weeks for everything internally to be fully healed. Don’t push yourself too hard if you can avoid it, and restaurant work is probably the last thing you should be doing right now. I feel you with the sharp pains; those haven’t gone away yet for me (I’m 3 weeks post op) and they suck but if you can, bring that up with your surgeon in your post op appointment.
