I'm not actively looking for drugs. I downloaded this app thinking I could find other people like me... But I got here without the AA steps and without the power of prayer to Jesus Christ. I just want to make some friends who want to not be constricted by the "addicted life" by living it every moment. To each their own, I'm just looking for someone(s) who can click. Nothing crazy.

Too each their own! Everybody has their own path, for me, I need the program. You may find you don't need it. I wish you the best of luck though whichever way you choose! Glad your here!

Thanks for the kind words. I know a lot of people have found success in the programs. I've been clean and sober for over 4 years but am really interested in finding a few friends who understand what life can be like for someone like myself. I'm just not comfortable with religion. I grew up Catholic with a sickening man for a father who used scripture to get away with horrid things. That's my beef with religion. Thought I should just put it out there.
I was not raised religious at all. Just never been my thing. I struggled with this part of the program for several years. It does become difficult to find people that recover and understand how your living. I think one of the hardest parts for me has just been reaching out and having conversations in general. I've just had my head in the sand for so many years and I trusted nobody. Its a learning experience tho, I'm making it 
Anyone who "uses scripture to get away with horrid things" is 1 using scripture wrong and 2 not a Christian no matter what they say. I am sorry you were exposed to that level of hypocrisy

Hey Liz. Im glad you are here. Dm me if you want to chat more. I’m not on here a lot but I will reply when I can. I’m looking for the same. The program is working for me but we don’t have to talk about that 
it’s nice to know that others made the same mistakes I did too sometimes. Hope to chat with you more if you want.
As long as you believe in a higher power and are ok with that you should be fine. You don't have to be confined to a specific religion if you're not comfortable with it.
