At the recent workshop Harvey went off a little into religious yiddishkiet talk, at the beginning of the following session he asked  that the  previous session's recording should not be posted on any official SA website because it's against SA principals to talk about religion.... point is that Harvey himself after being in SA over 32 years was way stronger in his yiddishkiet than many of us in the room, so SA definitely doesn't have to weaken yiddishkiet.....

I do agree though that unfortunately some people take the idea in a way that does not fit with yiddishkiet, but in my opinion many of these frum people weren't comfortable in their frumkiet all along and now they finally got the courage to speak out about it.

My feeling on this topic is as follows; a fellow SA member once told me that when he first joined the meetings he was paranoid about people seeing him enter the office building where the meeting took place because he's pretty famous and he couldn't afford people knowing about his addiction, till he thought to himself that he had no issue going into strip clubs and porn stores where he was definitely recorded on camera and that still didn't stop him, so why suddenly here when going into an SA meeting he's so paranoid that someone will see him.... my point is that this same phenomenon takes place when it comes to SA and yiddishkiet, I myself had no issue texting other women on shabbos to feed my addiction and I didn't daven if it interfered with my affairs, where was my care for yiddishkiet then? Why suddenly now in recovery yiddishkiet becomes an issue?

I'm not telling anyone to take any sides here, but one really needs to be brutally honest with oneself before deciding on this topic either way.
