Sorry you had such a bad experience with AA. My own
departure from AA came about as I gradually as my atheism
grew stronger and I could no longer tolerate the
religiosity so prevalent in AA.
Meanwhile, you're not likely to get much response here as
this is essectially a dead newsgroup created by one of the
most deeply disturbed Alcoholics I've ever met. He was for
all intents and purposes the only poster here (with some
few exceptions) throughout its entire existence and only
posts once or perhaps twice a year now.
I tend to monitor this group out of habit. You might find
an alcohol recovery community on Facebook.
Good luck to you.

when they realize that their Bible has no power to make me

people to cower into compliance." - Author unknown
