Belief in any god is not required in AA. It should not bother you. You obviously came to AA because you cannot control your drinking. I suggest you find a sponsor, in your case a woman since Leslie sounds female, who uses the first 103 pages of the Big Book as the directions for how to work the steps. Once you start, you will experience the program as it is meant to be experienced, and more importantly you can choose your own conception of a Higher Power, Mother Nature, your departed father, your grandfather. I'm sure both of them want you to be the person they always believed you can be. And I'm sure that you are not the person you want to be as a result of your drinking.
