Down, I went to the link you provided, the SOS one. Good stuff.
My very first sponsee, who just couldn’t or wouldn’t get the God thing found SOS.

He hasn’t had a drink in a while now and I’m really happy for him. He is a good guy and I like him and I’m glad he is sober. He at first left AA and found Rational Emotive Therapt, that experience led him to SOS. He now hosts an SOS meeting every Thursday evening.

I don’t attend his meetings regulary, but every now and then I drop by. I always enjoy myself there. I don’t preach AA, I just join in the discussion.

In fact, if I am working with a guy that is having a hard time with the concept of spirituality, I invite him to join me at my friends meeting. My job as his sponsor is to place as many sobriety tools at his feet as I can.

My only knock on his meetings are that they wander all over the place. Politics, art, you name it. I enjoy a wide ranging conversation as much as anyone. But a new guy could spend that hour there and learn little about how to get and stay sober. I would stay on topic if it were me.

But like I said, my friend hasn’t found it necessary to pick up a drink in a while, and for an alcoholic, that’s the most important thing.

One other thing, I took the Cult test using my Army experience as the guide. The Army is a cult. No surprise there. I tried it with my job, Christ, my job is a cult as well. It seems we are surrounded by cults.

At any rate, still your friend on this long strange trip,
Richard
