God and Newcomers
Don't be afraid to talk about God. Yours, that is--not his
As I HAVE "24-houred," "tabled," read, and found great serenity, I have been bothered by the wariness with which God is used as an AA tool in helping newcomers. I heard a great talk by a thirty-nine-year-old with sixteen beautiful years of sobriety. He made a point of stressing God, asking where else he could have received the help to get to AA. He further asked, "Why do we beat around the bush about God when we talk to newcomers?"
