I was waiting for them to appear
Yes it refers to god in some of those, but it is of your understanding. If you believe your consciousness is yours then so be it.
Most people who go dont believe in a god. All you do it sit around and discuss your problems, religion doesn't even come into the thing. At-least I've never experienced it in over 200 meetings.
I dont want to get into a debate over it but dont be put off if you think its going to be a load of preaching and hyms and such because it really isnt anything like that at all. Its the only thing thats worked for millions of people to get and stay sober. Its the best place to go if your truly an alcoholic/addict.
