When I am through detoxing I might go to a meeting just to see. But if they bang on about 'god' and 'programs' and 'you must do this / you mustnt do that' then basically Im out the door.
I'm not in AA but different meeting groups have different 'personalities'. I think it's worth at least giving it a try if you're finding it hard staying sober.
There are other secular based groups too - here's some links to some of the main players, including but not limited to AA:

but the one thing AA has going for it is its everywhere pretty much
