No I’m not catastrophising.
The world is slowly lurching towards a fully fascist led America, India, Hungary, Russia, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Argentina.
Instead people are either ignorant or blaming “wokeism”* for their problems.
I have no clue what to do and this is literally a car crash in slow motion.
I’m despondent because I’m going to be crushed under the boot when the time comes and my morals get in the way of my survival instinct.
Humans are repeating the mistakes of the past. It’s just so anxiety inducing.
*Woke is a useless term promulgated by fascists to dog whistle the things they really want to hate - feminism, socialism, LGBTQIA+, immigration, brown/black people, equality and diversity.
Yes it literally is. Or at the very least you have to “submit yourself to a higher power”
That’s one of the steps yeah. And it’s recommended to follow all steps but nobody is forcing you. You can just go as you want and try to follow the other ones as much as possible. Also a higher power could mean different things if you’re creative enough.
You’re not wrong. I’ve been sober for a long time and no longer go to support groups. If AA helped you then that’s fantastic. I just think that there should be an alternative that’s not based on religion.
Totally agree with that, but I’ve not found a decent one. So I’m glad that these ones are available because the NA one I’m joining is very supportive

Literally “as we understood Him” which is even worse. It’s gaslighting to pretend that “as we understood Him” isn’t just religious but also Abrahamic.
