Roger2, just find as many resources as you can. I use a patchwork quilt of solutions: AA, this website, a therapist, an outpatient substance abuse program. I am throwing everything but the kitchen sink at myself to stay sober.
Sure, I don't like some things about AA, because I am an athiest. But I view it as a tray of chocolates, I pick the things I like and skip over other things. I find AA very useful.
AA is not the only game in town either, if you search around, there are alternative groups that are not religious.
Welcome BTW, and keep coming back to SR!!!
