There is, also, SOS and LifeRing. Neither are faith based.
I think that AA is useful in the early days. It is everywhere. It may be best to attend open meetings. Open meetings are more open.
I think that AA has a sell by date.
The 12 steps may not resonate with many as a way of living. That is what options are about.
SMART is very mental, with all the tools and acronyms. SOS and LifeRing kind of split the difference between AA and SMART. Both are pretty practical.
'Recovery' is completely individual. For some, habitual drunkeness is a bad habit. Putting an end to the habit, things come round right. For others, it is more than that. It may be a coping mechanism which defeated itself.
Wherever one lies on that continuum, 'recovery' [ whatever it is] is defined by the person who owns the problem. Realizing that, may be liberating. I think that is is.
