Bittersmart, I'm not sure if AA is the right approach for you. It is geared around religion. One of the key components of it is how a person is "powerless" over their addiction and needs God to help them into recovery. I know a few people who have done well through AA, but they were believers.
Are there any groups in your area for atheists who are struggling with alcoholism? And it might be a good idea to start a support thread here and see if others join in. Like an online support thread. Not the same as an in person group, but at least there will be like minded people here to support you.
You're in my thoughts. I hope you find something that works for you.
