If you ever struggled with AA as a nonreligious person, you’re not alone! It seems to be the norm for almost all nonreligious folks who walk into AA. To help you understand, have a look at Struggling in AA is a Rite of Passage!.

This is one of our favourite meetings chaired by a great friend of Secular Serenity.  The Without a Prayer meeting is run by Sonoma County Intergroup Fellowship on Tuesdays at 18h30 (GMT-7).  If like most you get lost between time zones, here’s a useful time zone converter tool.

If you are looking for something a little bit different, then try the music hour meeting with FreeThinkers Tús Nua Ireland.  The music hour meeting is on Saturdays at 20h00 in Ireland.  The website contains links to a bunch of other online meetings.  If like most you get lost between time zones, here’s a useful time zone converter tool.

Yes, we have a ton of extra resources on our Secular AA Resources page.

Practically Sane is a website and online resource started by Jeffrey Munn, author of Staying Sober Without God. The goal of this website is to provide tools and guidance for individuals seeking a secular approach to addiction/compulsion recovery and overall mental health. Non-belief in a god is not required to benefit from this material. Believers can also benefit from this secular material. Additionally, the goal of this website is to help those who currently do not believe in a god or gods, not to convince anyone that their religious or spiritual beliefs are false.

My rock bottom was horrific and resulted in an attempt at suicide. Back then, I hated my life, I hated myself and I wanted to die but as it turns out, I was very afraid of death. The paradox of my recovery is that I now love life, I love living and I have learned to love myself and treat myself with kindness.

Apart from promoting our website, you can use a copy of the Secular Serenity flyer.

The best place to start is the Secular AA website.

Yes, of course. All we need is your first name, or the name you want us to call you.  Any other details you want to provide are purely voluntary.  You need to do whatever makes you comfortable.
