Congrats on your decision. I'm not trying to push you in any direction, just sharing my experience.
When I came to AA, I was a staunch atheist. I believed that the idea of a higher power was at best a crutch for the weak-minded, and at worst a tool of social control.
I recovered from alcoholism as the result of a spiritual awakening from taking the 12 Steps.
