I've been asking people at my local meetings but haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer. I've read the big book and found some guidance there but I was wondering if someone here could maybe help me.
I do not believe in a God. I just don't. And I don't know if it's an ego thing, if it's because I think I'm so intelligent because I read Nietzsche and Sartre and Camus. But I just can't accept that there is a magical, benevolent being. They say it is an issue of faith, and as much as I'd like to, I just cannot bring myself to believe. If anything I lean towards Buddhism, in being present in the moment, but as far as this life being samsara and cyclic, I'm not sure I can swallow that either. Eternal recurrence, the concept Nietzsche postulated later in life is about as far as I can get to a theory of salvation.
I desperately do not want to drink anymore. I am willing to do anything, but I think that includes being honest with people instead of just pretending that I believe in God.
Please help.
