@heyjoe415 Im also an atheist. My higher power is the understanding of process and change. All that is or ever will be, exist only through process and change. Through this understanding I feel at one with universe. I am no different than any living organism, yet we are all unique. Since I dont believe God will provide a kidney for my intended recipient, I choose to share mine. I feel that,on the long shot, if there was an afterlife, when I get to the table to turn in my organs, Id be pretty embarrassed to have 2 kidneys. Can you imagine the looks I'd get? Especially when I know someone else needs one and Ive learned, I dont need 2 to live a fulfilling life. Id be tempted maybe to hide one, or throw it in someone else's organ box. It doesn't hurt to cover my bases. I enjoy the fellowship of recovery. I feel at home being around people like us. Thank you for your kind words. My world is better with people like you in it.
