Ok... see? This is why I am where I'm at with what I think about AA. I don't wish to bash it...because I know it is exactly what some ppl can use to get better.

But...just by reading the above posts...can you see my thoughts too? Can you see why I'm confused somewhat?

Again, nothing AGAINST AA...

From a Christian perspective (MINE)... I can do NOTHING. I can do nothing without my God's doing, help. (ok..I see that in AA... powerless against the addiction) but then it appears that you some how pick the "burden" (?) of the addiction to battle on your own.

We learn in studying the Bible that if we take something to God, it is faith that leaves it there, and trust the God can handle it, and will do so that gives us power...HIS power over it. If we take our burdens to the Lord, and then pick them back up when we're finished praying, we are not trusting in Him.

Is that what they mean by taking it back (the ??? of the addiction?)
