[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 568633, member: 1514"] Good news on the house. I would also have a problem with the religious aspect of the AA or this Overcomers meeting considering what I remember of your long ago issues with that church. I had a bad dealing with a certain part (cant think of how to put that) of some Christian churches and it has turned me against going to organized churches for most of my adult life and in fact I loved to say lots of things for shock value over the years. Now that Im older I do believe in having a spiritual life but not with having to attend a church on a weekly basis. Years ago when I tried OA I didnt like the fact that they wanted to do the whole Higher Power thing and I had a very hard time with that. One thing they did tell me is that my Higher Power could be anything even a tree. I think I if I was having to be court ordered into some sort AA program, I would rather it be a program that didnt have any leaning towards religion. There have to be some sort of programs of that sort out there. Atheists have issues with alcohol too...lol. I would be dead sure they would not go to AA to be honest. It would simply be too uncomfortable. Do you think if you researched online about programs for such a program in your area ( and considering where you live I would think you could find something) and then talk to the PO about modifying the order because I would think just attending a group for sobriety support is the whole idea behind the court order, maybe they could do that. I dont know, just thinking. I think if you give your son one thing less to fight against it will help him. [/QUOTE]
