I think you are fine. In this forum, saying AA didn't work for you and moving on to a discussion of what did is fine (as long as it isn't 12 step based).
Any discussion of a secular approach to working the 12 steps, including what you like or don't like, belongs in the Secular 12 Step Recovery forum. Bashing of 12 step programs is not allowed anywhere on this site, as far as I know.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
