I hated it, but AA was the only thing that worked for me. It will probably not help your smoking issues.

I think that most programs will hold AA style group meetings. Don't be discouraged by the religious/cult atmosphere. After about 3 years I left AA and have been sober over 15 years.

Makes you wonder if there is something wrong with you and alcohol has become more than just a friend.

I still miss it Knowing that diving or slo mo falling back into it will have the same consequences - LOSS on a massive scale.

You might be surprised at how AA deals with the concept of a higher power. I am very non-religious and it was a turn off for me as well, but if you even listen to the founders early explanations of the concept, it may start to make more sense to you and be easier to swallow. Good luck friend!
