I'm with you on this, Cow. I'm an agnostic atheist. I'm working through AA's 12 Steps as well, but have been doing it a little differently than most, probably. I currently do not attend AA meetings, but do plan to work on finding some more meetings in my area than the Clubhouse I previously attended. I like the idea of a fellowship, and the unity within AA. It's odd that I do, because I'm so not a joiner. Never have been. I think being in a group of other alcoholics is something I need at times, but I also see the program as one of suggestion. And I work it in my way. And that's a good thing. Because this is my recovery. It's not a one-size-fits-all.
So, to answer your question... my worldview of course colors my recovery, but my recovery is also independent of my worldview. I'm a recovering alcoholic just as any believer is a recovering alcoholic, and finding similarities there helps me.
Edited: Wanted to add that I do think there's meaning to be found in this life, and it's on each of us to search for and find that meaning. Thinking Viktor Frankl here.
