I may not be a 12 stepper, I do however attend open AA meeting for the same reason you are planning to do. The best solution that has made the biggest difference in my life as an ex-drinker is a secular recovery program.
There is more that one way to be recovered from alcoholism. I encourage to discover a way to live free from alcohol that honors your worldview.
