Bulldawger I had to post because I was in the same shoes as you 5 months ago, I didn't want to go to a 12 step group because I didn't believe in a higher power. Do you believe that you are more powerful then the ocean? AA is a non-religious program. In other words it offers recovery to everyone despite their religious beliefs. Addiction left me spiritually bankrupt and the only way I've been able to redefine my spirituality is through the program. I know people that use the group as their higher power. No harm in trying a few meetings out and if you don't like it you don't have to go back
