I trust you wouldn't bring God-y stuff in, but even if that happens you can
work that out with your facilitator. There is always need for things to be
tweaked and tried out before they really work out, it will take time but it
seems like a cool idea. I've also known of other radical AA/NA stuff and it
has been positive for folks in te communities it serves.
