Because, those damn 12 steps really do seem to emphasize God, too! And Step 3 specifically says that we have to turn our care to God, and then adds (I'm sure this was added): as we understood him.

What if I have justified actions that don't deserve justification in my belief in God?
The point here is that we/I/you must make a primary decision to stop drinking, and then deal with the repercussions, even when we're not prepared to deal with them [right now] on our own. It isn't easy.
