Hello Regeneration, fellow atheist here.
I found that following what other AA atheist/agnostic people have done to fully recover from alcoholism helps me as well. I found some great instruction on the web (see below links) and belong to a couple very helpful online groups that are AA atheistic orientated.
AA Agnostic London South & Home Counties
An Atheist's Guide to Twelve-Step Recovery from Substance Addiction
AA Agnostics of the San Franscisco Bay Area
As for a Higher Power, the Helping People in AA, as you already found, are wonderful helpers.

“make A.A. itself your higher power. Heres a very large group of people who have solved their alcohol problem.”
