Lifering is one idea. There are a few SMART groups here, but they meet at times I work...not to mention, I was barred for life from SMART online, so, somehow, I think I would be a persona non grata in starting a group! It's a long story, but in ways, I found them as rigid as AA, at least in the online permutation. The live meetings I did make seemed different, but not well attended...maybe 1 to 5 other people. The spiral steps appeal to me, as do a variety of approaches...but I like the idea of being inclusive, as opposed to overly regimented.
Well, time to mull this all over, and thanks for the comments and ideas.
