I am so glad I found this thread! I am 14 days sober and went to my first SOS meeting last night. I'm from the Bible Belt, so it's actually quite difficult to find any group not affiliated with AA and religion. As an agnostic, I do not find the AA approach palatable but know that some sort of outside support is an absolute necessity to my staying sober.
I have not looked into the other groups (AVRT, Smart, etc...) as I never heard of them before coming to this page. I will now do more research.
Thank you, thank you, for being here.
