Fellow atheists: how do you feel about the God concept in Alcoholics Anonymous?

Question by Antithesis: Fellow atheists: how do you feel about the God concept in Alcoholics Anonymous?
In the AA program, a large part of it has to do with the person accepting their own “higher power” and “humbly ask him to remove their shortcomings.” Atheists, how do you feel about this? What would you do if you were in that situation (hypothetical)? Would you just accept it for the time being to overcome your addiction? or would you try to come up with your own recovery method? In his book, “A Million Little Peices”, James Frey is an atheist addict who rejected the god concept in AA and overcame his addictions by his own personal strength. However, it turns out that although he sold that book as a memoir, it was mostly fiction. So do you think it’s possible for someone to find it in themselves to overcome a hardcore substance abuse history without believing in fairy tales? Do you know anyone who has done that, or have you even done it yourself? I know a few former drug addicts, and they are very religious.

I apologize for my ranting.
