Jaz, BRD, welcome to the secular side of SR, and congratulations on your decision to choose sobriety. Take a look around the forum, there are some great long-running threads that make a great introduction to the ideas that form the basis of alternatives to 12 step programs.

These alternatives have one or two ideas in common. One is that you are all you need to get sober, you don't need steps or HPs or anything else. Maybe you need to look at things differently, maybe you need some life skills or other tools, but you are more than up to the challenge ahead of you. We all have it within ourselves to quit drinking.

The other idea that is shared among these secular sobriety techniques is that not only can you quit drinking, you can do it for good, for ever.

Ask some questions, make some comments, jump right in. There is a lot of support for you here.
