Here is the thing: yes, the Lord's Prayer is said at the end of meetings but you don't have to say it if you don't want to! The bigger issue is that AA actually works! I know this because I had a horrible drinking problem and AA worked for me. I never drank again! It was only when I stopped going to AA meetings, not working the program is when this narcotic pain medication thing snuck up on me. I am not trying to sound like some kind of AA zealot (maybe I am!) but it really does work. Just be honest with yourself. That is what I am trying to do. And yes, you have to REALLY want it.
