I lived in San Antonio and Austin when I was working CoDA. I was also an active pagan in a coven. I just decided it wasn't worth spelling out that my higher power was more feminine and less Christian than they were used to. I'm glad I didn't find that to be a hindrance.

This time around, I'm in liberal country, but I can't find many CoDA groups so I'm with Al Anon, when I'm needing to recover from rescuing a pill addict, so now I have two things that don't quite fit and yet it still works for me, thank goodness. I don't hide the kind of addiction I enabled but they don't seem to have a problem with it.
