Programs like AA are heavy on the idea of talking about your problems that trigger you relapsing towards addiction. In addition to that, they ask that you try to 'let go' of the negative thoughts and feelings that lead one to resort to substance abuse. Trusting in the idea that your actions and burdens are subjective- that that of which exists outside of yourself has led you to where you are. Having faith in inevitable future good will give you strength to move foward with sobriety.
An example:
(Prayer of Serenity)
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Another example:
Shoemaker wrote about the necessity of making daily surren-ders.Yes, the Sixth Step is also about surrendering, just like theThird. But Shoemaker made one point very clear: We surrenderas much of ourselves to as much of God as we understand.Inother words, our spiritual progress is based in direct proportion toour dropping the rock. We are very fortunate that all of our de-fects aren’t revealed to us all at once. Recovery works by givingus daily insight into what we can do to remove what blocks us.We need a daily awareness that our character defects are the op-posite of the principles of our Program.

As someone who has intimate experience with AlcoholicsAnonymous since before I could understand what I was seeing(before I could even walk), I can honestly say that this is all partially true.
To say its explicity religious would be a misstep- as it actually repeatedly asks members to 'surrender to a "higher power" ' which is never specifically detailed or characterized in the same fashion as orthodox religion. That being said, it does however- bring up 'god' more as a passive literary tool to convey a message. This is last bit imo is in steep contrast to its usage in whatever judaic/christian testament you might skim through.
Honestly though, most people are likely to read 'god' in non-religious documents as the same 'god' referred to in christian scriptures that is predominant is most media.
finally got the #matrix #irc bridge working for my intended @liberachat channel. I finally re-attempted doing so via desktop cli instead of the mobile cli and it simply worked. Time to reconnect to all my irc chats so that I dont have to keep ssh'ing into my remote server!

If you want an answer to _that_ question, you need an account and file a support ticket.
