Hi Hellione666,

There are a couple of great options that a) don't require meetings, b) don't require the Internet and c) work independently of whether you're an atheist or not. Both just require spending a few pounds on a book:

Allen Carr's Easy Way to Control Alcohol
ISBN-10: 0572028504
ISBN-13: 978-0572028503

Rational Recovery: The New Cure for Substance Addiction
ISBN-10: 0671528580
ISBN-13: 978-0671528584

(I have put the ISBN numbers as opposed to linking to them on Amazon as commercial links often get removed here)

Both options are about self-recovery in the most absolute sense. You don't need any help from anyone; it all comes from yourself. For me, the Allen Carr book was great for making me want to become a non-drinker and the Rational Recovery book allowed me to achieve it, for good.

Keep in touch as the aggregate knowledge of self/secular recovery on this forum is huge.

(By the way, if your friend only gets one book get the Rational Recovery one!)
