I think that we should start it. I admit that I am powerless over YA, R&S. And... oops.... then we get to a Higher Power... and now we are back to.... R&S... I don't think that even God can help us now. We are doomed... forever... Are there computers in heaven? I hope not.
NOTE: as to the real 12 step programs. Yes they have a Higher Power, but it does not have to be a god. Often it is the power of the group. But it is the group that we are addicted to here!!

I appreciate everyone s passion in this post, but it seems there is a belief that belonging to a denomination is a bad thing. It s not at all. It s not a club with rules that have to be followed. It means the church identifies with a larger body and that larger body has some authority to govern the independent church. They can t come in and dictate and wag their finger, but if the pastor starts teaching or preaching ideas that don t line up with the governing body and aren t biblical, he can be removed. Unfortunately, non denominational churches don t have this protection. With that being said, we are all to test the Scriptures and I understand why people can become turned off of belonging to a denomination. If you went to a church where people behaved a certain way it can turn you off of the group as a whole. The bottom line is neither are bad. I have never said I m an Assembly of God Christian, I m a Christian, the church I choose to attend is an AG church. If my pastor starts preaching unbiblical doctrine, he can be removed. It just means he has to be accountable to someone, and that the church has support from a larger group. There is nothing wrong with either one and we should all be making sure what is taught is sound doctrine, not taking any pastor s word for it, but immersing ourselves in the Word and committing to study. God Bless!

We got stuck at step 2...
Only way out is cold-turkey - the DTs stop after about 72 hours.
360 can help ease the withdrawal.

Atheists don't recognize a higher power. I attended an AA meeting for a class in school, it made me want to drink!
