Our program of recovery is not religious. It does require finding helpful sources of strength and support and following healthy principles, and each of us is free to choose our own path. Some members use only the fellowship for support and guidance. Some use their religion as their path. Others will choose non-religious spiritual disciplines. Some will use the strength of friendship and simple principles like honesty, open-mindedness and willingness. Some will also seek the support of counselors and other professionals.
