welcome roger2 you are in the right place, there are other options besides AA such as s.m.a.r.t. recovery and lifering. There are links to these sites on this site when you look under resources I think..
in any case I have been sober for 16 days now, and do not attend AA, although I would not rule it out. I am finding this site to be a great source of support and encouragement.
thanks for your post I look forward to reading them =) noba
