Besides AA there are also other group options such as my favorite, SMART Recovery as well as Refugee Recovery for examples. AA can be great especially in connecting you with others wanting the same thing but AA alone won't be enough. Get into counseling as well. Some people are not religious and some are atheists for them, the latter especially, 12 step groups can be difficult. A lot of groups tend to push the god aspect but worse is individual people that WILK try to persuade you then often berate you and tell you how you can't get sober. Ignore them and keep trying new meetings until you find good ones. There are atheist friendly meetings and even some (rare in CT) atheist meetings (with slightly modified steps. You do not need a god or higher power to get sober but if you believe in that its probably not going to harm you in anyway and if that's what you need to stay sober then do it.

I have a long history regarding this topic and if anyone wants to talk or needs advice/direction to get help, to get services, to get into rehab, whatever, ask and I will help how I can.

if you are struggling with AA or any 12 step group because of the spirituality/god part you don't have to. There are ways to make it work and even atheist meetings. There are also other options, options without gods or the supernatural. I'm an Atheist that did a lot with AA. If anyone needs help/guidance I will do what I can if you ask.
