Does anyone know if 12 step program is haram or even shirk?

It's really helpful for my drug addiction but there are parts that make me afraid. It's meetings for addicts, they say It's a spiritual not religious program but they mention the word God alot. They say you can define God however you like and this is the part that makes me afraid. Like even if I know Allah is the one and only creator, just the fact that they read out loud that "we believe in a higher power stronger than ourselves" "God as we define it" etc.

I'm pretty sure it's foundation is from Christianity. Like it started in 1930 something for alcoholics and addicts.

If I think Allah, and I know Islam is the only truth, can I still attend these meetings without falling in shirk?

I'm having serious problems to stay clean from drugs without these meetings.. Drugs that make me risk my life.. I hope this isn't shirk if I define God as Allah SWT.

I hope it's possible to use these meetings as a tool to survive.
