A.A. Christianity

AA CHRISTIANITY?

—“Hey on the religion topic. I might’ve mentioned it before, but the AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) version of Christianity might be useful to consider:

• They don’t preach or advertise, they share their experience, strength, and hope to people that express interest in getting help—but the person has to want to change.

• They offer sponsorship for someone to work their own program. But they don’t push it. You must go up to someone and ask for their support.

• It’s not reciprocity between two people per se—it’s more like pay-it-forward. My sponsor doesn’t get much from me, but he figures I’ll offer my unique perspective and possible sponsorship to someone that approaches me to help them.

So we all share our personal ways we’ve recovered from our defects in character/makeup. By doing that it grows the system based on attraction.”— A friend
