Oxford,
you might find some like minded souls here in our Secular 12 step forum:
https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...step-recovery/
You might also want to google around for a group called 'AA Agnostica', which is pretty much what it sounds like.
there's also any number of meeting based groups that don't require belief in a Higher Power - SMART LifeRing, SOS, Sobriety for Women....
There's a Buddhist approach in Refuge Recovery. There's even groups like Rational Recovery which don't even require meetings; and groups like Celebrate Recovery for those who don't think AA is religious enough.
There's really no excuse for anyone else to stay in a recovery method they don't find meets their needs.
