Possible program for athiests?
(Preview)
This may be looked down on, but I need to know if any of you could suggest an NA type program that has nothing to do with a God. I know the program's stance on "God being anything," etc. I've been to meetings before, but its still a bit off-putting for me. Thanks in advance.
