There is a lot of programs out their for recovery. AA is just the most popular one because it was the first. You can look into S.M.A.R.T. or SOS or even rehab which most are AA base program. Just to remember that every program have a very small success rate. Your best bet for recovery is to do your research on all the programs and see which one you feel like it will work for you.
Don't feel like you have to use one type of program because everyone is using it. Remember it's your recovery and you will know what works for you.
Good Luck.
