The "higher power" and prayer stuff is less important than the good stuff you'll get. Take the good and go along with the rest. Good for you!

Girl, I watched this whole damn story. Thank you. My family drama isn’t the same but the pain and hurt feels similar. You shared something so personal

Your “higher power” doesn’t need to be religiously related, you could really make it anything. And prayer doesn’t have to be religious prayer either -

I already said this but Codependents Anonymous was AMAZING for me and I actually healed A LOT! We read through all of the patterns of codependency.

I really like DBT, they have an interpersonal effectiveness section that I found particularly helpful. I have indiv. and group every week

alnon does not require you to be religious at all but it's recommended, very sweet person, and it's very healing. ♡

It took me about 3 different meetings before finding one I liked. But overall found it helpful to know I wasn’t insane and other people can relate

I’m not religious. It was weird at first, but it’s really helped me more than I can say. I think of my higher power as the universe doing it’s thing.

Hiii your higher power can be whatever you want it to be it can be the wind the ocean the trees anything doesnt have to be God

You can use the group as a “higher power.” Prayer can be a regular meditation practice and/or reaching out to some people who can share their experien

I was part of Alateen...it helped me a lot. Just knowing that others had similar experiences helped. I didn’t choose my group, my mom did

Not religious. But it helped me support my partner through his journey to sobriety and what toxic behavior has to be a hard no.

I started going to nar anon a couple years ago before covid and it actually really helped me feel seen and accepted. I was the youngest person there –

(1) Idk if they have this where you are, but you might want to look into SMART Recovery & their affiliated support groups! Or other AA alternatives bc

I’m always pro therapy (😂) My initial thought is that it might be difficult to find a less religious meeting due to your location but keep looking!

Nope :
Al-Anon is based in Christianity, as is AA. But like someone else said, the good you get out is worth sitting through the faith stuff.

i’ve been to a couple of al-anon meetings before and i strongly prefer ACA, i think you might find it more helpful too.

I have a dear friend who has attended Al-Anon for years. He’s not overly religious, and he swears by it.

you find ppl who have similar messed up relationships and you listen, talk, share, and work your programs, and it's basically free.

So it probably isn’t as earth shattering now, but al-anon taught me so much to heal my relationship with my father.

Al-Anon saved me; meeting people going through similar experiences was validating. They have so many tips and mantras to help get through the trauma.

Don’t worry about a higher power yet, as long as you can believe in *something* bigger than yourself (universe / physics / love) you’re fine.

I was told you don't have to be religious, when they tell you to give it up to a higher power, that could be the coffee pot.

Tedious and annoying but you don’t have to believe in God or a higher power to use the principles of Al-Anon instead of let go and let god just let go
