RAA is fellowship of men and woman who identify as religious addicts. We welcome anyone who wishes to give up compulsive, mood-altering religious practices in order to return to sanity all areas of our lives. Consequences of religious addiction can take many forms but the disease leads the addict into high levels of unmanageability including mental health problems, self-hatred, PTSD, relationship and financial problems. The religious addict has developed the capability to produce a spiritual high and/or trance-like state, the source of which the addict attributes to a HP, but in reality the cause is a pathological response in the mind of the addict to heavily ritualised behaviours. Core shame in the addict leads them to doubt that they have been truly accepted by an HP, in spite of all their efforts or that they may only merit a transient acceptance contingent on the maintenance and/or acceleration of their mood-altering practices. Recovery is possible, however, and addict can in time learn the value of ourselves and our lives free from self-induced brain chemistry state
