The members made things impossible while I was there, they berated me for being an atheist, telling me that if I wasn’t willing to bend my knees I’d be bending my elbow. They called my diagnosed depression “being on the pity pot”. They told me that I wasn’t really sober if I took psych medication and that if I did the steps properly, there would be no need for therapy.
