brantskate,
Although I personally don't have experience with programs other than 12 step programs, there are some people on the Alcoholism forum that are familiar with recovery programs that are not spiritually based. I agree with Smoke that the 12 step programs basic tools can be used by agnostics and atheists, though many I know have a hard time getting past the words "Higher Power" and "God, as we understood him." Two programs that I have heard of that don't base their recovery on spirituality are SMART recovery, and Rational Recovery. I don't know how well these work, but they have websites that you can check out. Of course, you are welcome to post, share, and learn as much as you can here. Welcome. Hugs, Magic
