Oh blimey. AA. Robbo I know you say it’s not all Godish but I just can’t bring myself!! One of the biggest trauma’s I had as a child happened at Church. I,of course, turned this into a ‘funny’ story since. But it wasn’t funny. We went to Baptist church alot when we were little but more and more I would rather have gone horse riding (cross country eventing – the scariest high octane of all the equestrian sports! Yeah!). Thankfully our vicar Norman, ran off with Anthea our hippy sunday school teacher, leaving his congregation, wife and 3 children. I point blank refused to go to church after that and I can honestly say that he provided me with the single best evidence to never ever trust anyone in a position of power. The thought of any talk of god actually makes me feel physically sick.
I have been looking into Agnostics and Athiests at AA but there’s no meetings in my neck of the woods.
Also – and maybe I’m just being a bit thick. But I fail to see what’s anonymous about AA. You sit in a room full of people baring your soul – in person! I’m not really a group hug type person and I’m much more comfortable a few clicks away from a forum.
I do completely get your sentiments though and I can see where you are coming from. I’ve made an appointment to see my doc next Thursday and in the mean time I’m exercising everyday and have bought myself a hypnosis/meditation book and CD. It’ worth a try! I’ve also got a trip to Venice for the weekend with my husband for his birthday next weekend. I’m a photographer, so I’m looking forward to just getting us lost with my camera – that’s therapy in itself!
This forum is great, thank you everyone who has taken the time to reply to my naive questions. I’m still at the rabbit in the headlights stage and learning so much everyday.
