[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there something like al-anon but without the religion/god/prayer aspects? [/quote] Get out of it what you can. It is like any support group. You don't have to believe.[/quote]Also try several different groups. You'll find the makeup of the group will be different depending on the location. I attended a lot when I was in grad school and people in the university community had much more diverse beliefs. It was easy to regard the "higher power" thing as different for different people. For me it is more of a metaphor than anything else. Some people have said they think of the higher power as the group conscience. I've heard the expression that your higher power can be a door knob if it works for you. The idea is to learn to let go of things you can't control. You don't have to believe in god for that idea to work for you. Good luck, OP![/quote]
