My wife's family keeps trying to convince her that I should be an A.A

Me and my wife have been together for 12 years. I've been an alcoholic through most of it. I've been drinking since I was 14. I will be sober 3 years in February. I have A.A and the 12 step program shit the good o'l try and for me that's not what worked.

The reason her family thinks I need it is because is because her parents think it's impossible for someone to stay sober without having God in their life. My wife believes in a higher power. She's just not religious at all and doesn't necessarily believe in a Christian God like her parents. She's just open to the idea of a higher power.

For me and me personally when I was religious and doing A.A that was when I struggled the list to stay sober. This may be different for other people but for me and several of my friends I made when I did so A.A putting it all in a "higher power" actually wasn't stable for me. Because anytime I questioned my faith, I was at risk for breaking sobriety. I think the idea that you need a higher power not get sober is complete bologna and I went to see a therapist. It took a while but seeing a therapist that specialized in trauma and substance abuse helped me more than A.A did. Maybe I would have went if I could have found a less religious A.A because religion for me at least just made my chances of relapse higher.

They are telling my wife that I should be in A.A and that I need to have God in order to stay sober. I feel like my wife is starting to listen to them because they kept going on about this shit at Christmas and she today was asking how I feel my sobriety is going. It's fine and I see my therapist twice a week but I'm worried her family is going to get in her head that I'm close to relapse when I could be further from it. I have no desire to drink anymore.
