I have avoided AA like the plague because of the seemingly underlying Christian foundations. I do drink and shouldn't and it's a secret. I'm in therapy for severe trauma and drink, self-harm and a whole host of other coping mechanisms (no drugs), to deal with overwhelm/anxiety.
Is AA a bunch of bible thumpers trying to get me to believe in a Christian God?
Also - if not - transportation is an issue for me.
I live with an alcoholic and drink mostly when he's here. Most often when he's not, I drink water or milk. Sometimes (I have PTSD) when I am panicked and/or stressed, I take a shot or drink a beer.
If I don't do that, I'm cutting or pulling hair.
I am in therapy.
I am lost.
