    This is why I resisted AA/NA for so long. It seemed like an attempt to convert people when they were at their lowest, rock bottom.

    And it may have started that way, but today there are variations. My home group was full of angry atheists and agnostics. We spent a LOT of time trashing religion and the spiritual abuse we suffered as young people.

    That’s where I learned that we are all gods. Anyone who creates is god. I started praying to myself and actually still do occasionally. Since I’m the one in control of my own destiny, why shouldn’t I? It’s odd but it actually works, it’s like telling your subconscious what to do, which makes things easier for your conscious self.

      Just pick whoever/whatever you want, I like that elephant-headed God for example. He makes me happy (Ganesh). He doesn’t need blood or anything, he’s so crazy

      It doesn’t matter, none of this matters

      I’m def not a god, it just takes time for your body to break down, for your mind to turn to dust, then you WILL feel it. You will understand what it is like to be limited, to see your entire future ahead of you.
