Nutty, Welcome to SR, I am so glad you found us.
I just want to add, some Al-Anon meetings sorta use God a lot, and others are pretty
normal, It is good to try at least 6 meetings, different times, different places, different days, before we rule it out.
My Higher Power is the group,and Mother Nature, but I think AA and Al-Anon are the greatest.
Most say 2 prayers, but no one is required to say them.
Our programs are suggestive only, and remember to just take what you can use and leave the rest, both in meetings and here at SR.
Keep comeing back.
