For the vast majority of addicts seeking recovery the most dispointing realization of AA and 12 step methodolgies have as thier centerpoint: God, specifically, God has the power to 'fix' you and you as an individual, are powerless.
This immeadiatly turns off most people.
The issue is surrender.
I subscribe more closely to John Bradshaw's/ Unity Christ church/ Wayne Dyer/ Depak Choppra/ Course in Miracles theology.
Most main stream christian theology tends to concentrate on Obeying God, the presupposistion being that we "just ain't no dang good on our own"
I've not posted on this topic for over a year, and have a lot more to say soon, but for now I'll leave you with this:
The same agnostics (fence sitters, people who basically believe in God, but leave the issue alone because it's just unfathomable/ overwhelming/ conflicting and confusing) the same atheists and agnostics that object to Obeying God Obey the law of Gravity every second of every day (even while thier sleeping) and that doesn't seem to piss them off.
Surrender only looks like surrender when we view our lives and reality through the 'lens ' of our perspective
Time is an optical DE-lusion

There is no mass, only energy
more coming soon... I've got to find a public defender
(would you really listen to a drug counselor/ someone prosteltizing that never smoked crack??? it takes one to know one)
