Question by zorro1701e: Alcoholics Anon, Narcotics anon, they all require a belief in higher power. Do they work for non believers?
Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics anonymous, they all require a belief in higher power or some kind of god. Do they work for non believers, for atheists or agnostics?
Or are those people destined to fail those programs because the programs are designed for believers?
I have asked this question already in cultures. But thought maybe i would get more responses from Religion & Spirituality
Im not going to one of those groups.
Im not a drug user and only drink at parties.
I was asking out of curiousity.

Answer by Atheist Hooligan Diver Dude! I don’t know, but there are non-theistic based recovery groups out there as well.

Answer by Derail It’s true. All these 12 step programs rely on a higher power. They have to. It’s a source in which the recover-er can draw mental strength. For an agnostic person, the mind set would have to be different of course. I don’t mean standing up to proclaim being agnostic. But using those people around you as examples and inspiration to accomplish your recovery. For most folks, it’s better than trying to recover alone.
Jess discusses how she has having a lot more fun in recovery than she originally thought she would, and how she is able to finally discover who she really is. She also gives a great discussion on the importance of a higher power, as well as the openness of what “higher power” means. Because you don’t have to have the same god as everyone else.
