      Yep!

      But commiting yourself to the idea of surrendering to some kind of God is.

      So you can fail AA as a sober atheist, but pass it as a religious, functional alcoholic.

      Great system.

      Eye, but not drinking feels like a loophole insofar that I’ve abstained for over 5 years and went from no money to having a down payment for a house saved up, all while improving my health by leaps and bounds. Can’t get a beer gut if you don’t drink 👌

          Do they still call it a beer gut when you don’t drink? Shouldn’t they call it a pizza and fries gut or something?

            I’d say it’s mostly energy drinks,

            but I found a really good zero alc beer that is also putting in work so technically still a beer gut.
