At 10 years clean I wanna be going to BBQ’s with good friends, talking about tax evasion, planning holidays and buying shiny stuff. Not drinking cheap coffee from a plastic cup next to some dude with his chin on his knees. |
I always found everything after the first 10 minutes to be off-putting.
I am a not very religious Jew, and AA especially always reminded me of church. When they said the Lord’s Prayer, it made me so uncomfortable. I knew Aleinu, Kaddish, Shema…but no "Lord’s Prayer." So I remained silent while people glared.
NA is nearly as religious and equally as laughable. If it really worked, the recovery rate from alcoholism would not be the same as it was 100 years ago.
