I don’t believe in God, and am an alcoholic who would like to quit?

Question by kitkatz70: I don’t believe in God, and am an alcoholic who would like to quit?
Everyone always says AA meetings etc. They mean nothing to me because I don’t believe in God. I was in rehab for 3 months and that is all they preach out of too, is the “big book” AA. It totally turns me off, I drank every weekend on my passes away. I just wonder does anyone know of any way to quit an addiction without hawing to refer to God or a Higher Power or anything? There has to be a way. Help
This is not a religious question, so please if all you have to say is about God or something please refrain. I have nothing against other peoples beliefs, to each their own, I just dont personally believe, and never will so please don’t try to convert me, or call me the devil, or say I’m going to hell. I am very comfortable with my beliefs, and am quite content with them. I am not ignorant on religion either, I have read the bible”s” more than once. I did my research and have chosen not to believe. Thank you.

You’re telling us what were not suppose to say. Interesting. You’re asking for help but with limits. I think I know why you’re an alcoholic then. But, you don’t want my answer so that’s all I’m saying.

I would say you should find a mentor, friends or a counselor that you trust you can talk to. It doesn’t have to be about God/Higher Power, but then it comes down to you having the power. You make the decisions, You make the choices. Everyone has choices and they are hard to make sometimes, but you have to keep telling yourself you can do it.
