Wow 45 years..so do people stay on because they eventually like the company or do they actually relapse if they quit going?
That is kinda how it is depicted on the show "Mom"...that was the one better aspect of the show. And as you once told me over pm, some people are a little leery of the association with religiosity I have heard some people express doubts over. As someone who has relied on skepticism, rationality and strong atheism to stay sane over the years, while I try to never be robotic or dogmatic/rigid/ inflexibly close minded, I will admit to being a little wary by now of anything that savors even mildly of spirituality.
But in the main it certainly sounds like a good/helpful group. If they are ok with prescription meds, then my main misconception about them is cleared away. Anyway I am sure most of my doctors and even weak tie friendships are with at least mildly religious people. It has never bothered me as long as they are not super down on abortion, evolution, orthodox, misogynistic a la Taliban etc., as long as tge methods and science are there for the main therapeutic approaches
I am glad you cleared away my doubts about the AA style cold turkey approach. I know it works for me and it is silly to automatically reject it due to suspicions of straight edgers etc
