I've seen many rewritten versions of the original AA 12 steps. The basic framework seems to be helpful for a lot of people. It does seem to me that all of these tend to rely on an external locus of control.
I adhere to the premise that my addiction to alcohol can be dealt with more appropriately from an internal locus of control, therefore the Smart(SELF Management and Recovery Training) program is the main method on which I base my recovery.
Not so many quotes on the Smart website, but lots of acronyms,lol.
