Hi there. I'm new to this group. Glad to have found a secular, agnostic sobriety group. Look forward to gaining some insight from other like-minded folks. Hopefully can contribute, and help someone out.

I’ve been in the program for six months and am just about to start “working the steps” with my sponsor. I am curious as to others’ definitions of working the steps, and how it worked for you as an agnostic/atheist.

I find myself smoking more since they dropped my pain meds down. I seem to be using it as a distraction from the pain. The lesser of two evils?? What do you do besides smoke, or anything else destructive that approaches you daily?
