I have done a search for Alcoholics Anonymus and was stunned to see there was nothing in this data base about the program. I know that there are many people in our society that still thinks A.A. is some kind of cult-like group. However, that number of people is far surpassed by the amount of those lives that have been saved by the use of the blueprint for living as set forth in A.A. I can say that with a deep sense of reality as I am one of those that have been spared a misrable existance. It is true that there is a frequent reference to GOD through out the literature and our speech. The idea of "a power greater than yourself" is nothing more than a suggestion as are all of the 12 steps. The use of the word GOD is just that: the use of a word to describe something that everyone chooses for themselves. The program does not endorses any organized religion. The program simply believes that a power greater than could do for us that which we could not do for ourselves. There is much more I could say about this simple program designed for complicated people but I would love to hear feedback from others. Thanks
