The Secular Support Path

Secular AA

Secular AA meetings · Secular, agnostic-friendly (within AA) · Online & in person

Secular and agnostic AA meetings for people who want the fellowship and the steps of AA without the religious language or a required higher power.

Overview

Secular AA supports atheist, agnostic, and freethinker members within Alcoholics Anonymous, keeping the twelve-step fellowship while setting aside the God-centered framing.

How the approach works

Meetings run much like any AA meeting, but without prayers or an insisted-upon higher power. Many are online and welcome newcomers from anywhere.

Who might find it useful

People who value AA's community and structure but were put off by the spiritual or religious elements.

What to expect

A large directory of secular AA meetings, many of them online and available at any hour.
