Hi Rhainy - You're welcome. In the 12 steps of CoDA it mentions "God in whatever way you think of God" or something like that. It talks about a "higher power" but is not Christian-based at all. In other words, it talks of a belief in some power greater than ourselves, but people of any religion or no religion can go & benefit from it. One of the men in our group doesn't believe in God at all & finds that aspect a little difficult, but benefits greatly from the group.
Let me now what you think of it if you go. Haven't read the rest of this thread yet & might not right now.
Love, Kath

I have a prob with Many, tho by no means all, 12-step programs which are Christian based and along with the program try to push their religion on you as well...
