Belief Optional

 Lots of people who have addictions avoid recovery programs because they don’t believe in a god.  They think belief is required.  Belief is not required.  Desperation, and emptiness that no longer can be filled, suicidal leanings are more what is required.  The gift of desperation is just that, a gift.  It gives the addict the willingness to ask for help.  The belief that you cannot stop your addiction on your own is all the belief that is needed.
