I’m so desperate to stop drinking that I will try anything now, including AA which I had previously thought was so not for me.
That's a good place to be actually. I had to get to the same place before I tried AA too.

As far as a foundation, that's steps 1,2 and 3.

As far as the God thing, the chair was right. Don't over analyze it yet. One of the many things I've found out about AA is the less you analyze, the more the answers are that come to you. All you have to do is have Faith, and seek. Well, that and follow the suggestions

Work on step 1 now. The growth with your High Power doesn't really start until later. In 2 you come to believe, and 3 you turn it over. 4 and 5 are what really open the door for you to have a conscious contact (It's hard to talk to God with all that baggage floating around in your brain), and later in 11 you improve your conscious contact.
