      Eye, but not drinking feels like a loophole insofar that I’ve abstained for over 5 years and went from no money to having a down payment for a house saved up, all while improving my health by leaps and bounds. Can’t get a beer gut if you don’t drink 👌

      Yep!

      But commiting yourself to the idea of surrendering to some kind of God is.

      So you can fail AA as a sober atheist, but pass it as a religious, functional alcoholic.

      Great system.
