My boyfriend thinks hes an alcoholic – should he go to AA?
This was a good thread on AA and being an atheist. And this was a good thread on which version of meeting to attend. And finally, this was an interesting thread on what to do when one’s S.O. joins AA (generally) and, more specifically, was an atheist but has now “found god” (or his/her version of a higher being in the steps). AA can be the foray into other aspects of improving oneself, so don’t think that just because you don’t think he’s a raging alcoholic, doesn’t mean that AA won’t a) be good for him as an independent process and b) help him identify those aspects of his life that he wants to work on. One way to help him is by going to Al-Anon, the sister organization that works with family, friends and anyone else who was affected by an alcoholic.
