Doesn't every method require an element of faith?

I like what I've read about AVRT.
But it does strike me that to apply any model of "recovery" requires a level of faith. If even in that model.

I suppose what I'm saying is, I seem to question the rationale in things. AA I did but could never take it seriously, as I don't believe in a god. They told me I didn't have to but then said the Lord's Prayer at the end of meetings, which suggests it's not only god based but Christian based.

I apply this critical analysis to all models too. So, I'm looking at AVRT and wonder where I'll find holes.
Does anyone else do this?
I know I'd probably find things easier if I could follow instructions without question but it's just not me.
Anyway, I've made my Big Plan.
And I immediately don't believe it, which I understand is my AV.
My AV led me to a drink last night and I wasn't watching out for it.
I must become more attuned to it.
