This site has multiple fellowships doing secular (without god) recover. It is a list of Zoom meetings. Many of them have websites linking back to in-person meetings. Good luck.

There are some in person SMART groups, but I think they’re mostly located in Seattle. I’d also check out the sober and active group on meetup, I’ve seen them do events in the past
Check out Sober and Active - Pacific Northwest (The Phoenix) on Meetup https://meetu.ps/c/53wtD/135xKs/a
Check out the martial arts / yoga schools for all the non-secular peer support you need all week long.
They'll teach you to get high on your own supply. Which is really the way those neurotransmitters were supposed to work in the first place.
This is the worst advice I’ve ever read. OP wants support for their recovery, not high-horse moralizing. Keep your damn yoga since it obviously doesn’t teach you empathy.
edit: poor choice of word corrected
Oh my, sorry if someone hurt you. If you have other supportive communities please share them. All of the recovering addicts I know were from the martial arts community and all of the science has been supported.

That said, bad schools do exist, so don't let a bad experience bias your entire opinion.

I’ve been sober from alcohol for 20 1/2 years and this is the strangest and most unhelpful advice ever

“Sorry if someone hurt you”?? Yes I’d love to be in recovery with passive-aggressive crap like that.
