You don't have to do anything. The program (steps) are meant to be suggestive only. I would suggest that you tell folks that the group is your 'higher power' and that you'd just like to have their support. You may get some folks who don't like that answer, but there is no requirement that they agree with you.
"Our book is meant to be suggestive only. We know only a little" are the words on page 164. One of the things that the writer of those words (Bill Wilson) learned from the person he said was part of "the first link in the chain of events that led to the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous" turns out to be very important.
Note what doctor Jung says in his letter to Bill about the three paths to recovery, (namely that one is "a personal and honest contact with friends"). If all else fails,show them the letter and tell them you are just being honest.
