you're in the right place... recovery is possible! sounds like you've got an open mind and a willing heart, and that's a great place to start. there are all kinds of recovery programs that are secular based, and checking out one of those seems like a good idea for you... checking out some posts and chatting up some of the folks on the secular board might help, i know there's a lot of experience, strength, hope and recovery with all kinds of different avenues.
personally, i'm in AA, but i lean much more toward buddhism and spirituality. i'm not religious, but i do believe in somethin - i call it the big guy in the sky, but mostly cause it rhymes and i like rhyming.
anyway, welcome! glad you're here.
