49 days This group of people have been so great. I appreciate you all in this thread so much and the other sober atheist group I am apart of on FB. Almost to 50!
Love him!
Well said bro, I feel the same way
Atheist here🖐
Used this group and app 12/29/2020 through about April of 2021 to stay sober from alcohol. Fell off the wagon regretfully. Today I’m back. Would have had a year sober, (that was hard to say). I’m not sure how I’ve not wand up in jail for a DUI or worse. I know the next time I drive drunk I will get in trouble. I’ve gotten away with it too long. I want to be a better person. I want to be sober for at least a week, then a month and so on. I want to take control of my life back. I want to be happy. I want my kids to be happier. Here’s to staying sober this time around.
Welcome back Christine! Together we can do this. I’m glad you’re here with us.
His exchanges with Stephen Fry are good listening
Hiiii! So glad you are choosing yourself again! I’m so glad to jump on this thread
Ok i’ll listen to it! I really like “the best of hitchslap” video on YouTube. He was so eloquent
Turn on the news, you see humans with out love…and it makes that picture all to real.
Good morning! Had a guy at work yesterday keep pushing AA on me yesterday and he wouldn’t listen to the fact that I’m ok on my journey and that it’s not something I want to do. Also kept saying god bless you and then would say “oh that’s right you’re an atheist I take that back”. Annoying to say the least. Ever since I saw the truth in my own life that if anything is going to change I have to take responsibility and do it, there is no god to pray to life has been better. The guy kept pushing god on me and why I don’t believe and I finally said because I’m not a baby anymore that needs an imaginary friend to use as a coping skill to manage the tough uncomfortable things in my life and to me it is psychotic to try and avoid reality by talking to someone who isn’t there causing my psych to splinter into two different people. I was really pissed off by the end of the day due to the fact that my sovereign right to believe what I believe wasn’t being respected at all. The guy showed me what an immature piece of shit he really was but unfortunately I couldn’t call him out in it because he’s my boss lmmfao. Pushy psychotic needy unbalanced mother fuckers. The best thing I ever did was to have the courage to step away from any beliefs in gods and I’m still suffering mentally from all of the bullshit Christianity has done to my confidence, self esteem and life. Thank you for letting me vent you guys have a great day, love you guys!
Love it! Have a great day!
Lol thank you and you too!!!
People are so funny when they push god. I know that it can be so frustrating when it comes to sobriety. Sometimes i just chuckle knowing that many humans cannot tackle life without being afraid of something or believing that someone in the sky thinks their special. Keep kicking ass… by your own strength, intelligence, and tenacity!
Yes. It’s the best sleep ever.
That had to be so hard on you being abandoned like that. I too keep people at arm’s length but am trying to connect a bit more now that I go to meetings. Still a struggle though.
Connection is so powerful!
