I'm atheist, but freely admit to a 12 Stepper past.
Not troubled with seeming contradiction, I've ascertained 'spiritual' aspects of 12 Stepper-ism are a necessary fiction for a quirk in how addiction works in primate brain chemistry.
Hasn't been a problem for me for a helluva long time, and I don't feel it should be a problem for others either.
BTW, that Glucerna snack bar I had earlier tonite was tasty (but oh so tiny) and yet it is really coming back on me now, and it's kinda unpleasant.
Blech . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
