I agree with Gail that the Lords Prayer is an outside issue where N.A. traditions are concerned. However 90% of the topics in this book have been considered outside issues in the past. So with that said I'll try to share my personal experance. I consider myself a spiritual person. Yet when I went through treatment we were required to go to to a christian based recovery group. Not that I have anything against people who practice those beliefs,but it bothered me that people who didn't believe that way had no place in those rooms. I simply feel that we must be careful about religious overtones in our meetings. Every addict should be able to come to a meeting without feeling they are required to either change their religion or to even have to have one. Not one person I know likes to feel left out . Let's leave religion outside the rooms.
