Do I have to believe in God to attend Alanon meetings?

Frequent Newcomer's question

Newcomer's Question: I am an atheist and the word "God" turns me off. I heard that Alanon forces the concept of God on people. Is this true? Can I keep my faithless beliefs while seeking recovery in Alanon?

 

This question is a part of a series of questions that intended to answer questions that we frequently receive from people whom are seeking recovery. We would like to direct them to this page so that they see as many answers as possible instead of imposing our own ideas each time. Thank you for participating. .

Introduction

Hi,

My name is Jody and I have 15months sober.

Amazing

A sober life is truly amazing.

Lost

I was given the gift of physical sobriety. I did not have to work for it. I though I was dying; literally. I had been drinking for over thirty years and thought I had liver damage. It turned out to be something else. Not life threatening. But it still scared me straight.

Integrity

I was given the gift of abstinence. I say a "gift" because it came about because I was scared. I thought I was dying; literally. I thought I had serious liver damage. I mean, I drank for 30 years. So I stopped. But it turned out to be diverticulitis. Still serious, but not life threatening.
