Great job on one week! I always found the first week and a half hard.
I refused to go to AA for a couple years for the same reasons you do. However when I finally opened my mind up to and and all possibilities of recovery programs, I understood it differently than I first had. It's not a program based on religion, but rather spirituality. There are many non-religious and atheists in AA, when I first went to the rooms, I went the Good Orderly Direction route and did a lot of listening and contemplating on the ideas before the important points hit home for me.
However, like others have said there is more than one way to do sobriety, AA is not the only way. Check out all the links to resources SR has, there are many. Making a recovery plan is a great starting place too.
Keep on going!
