Alcoholics Anonymous was very helpful for me. If you can make yourself willing to find someone you connect with who'll offer to sponsor you then you really get the most out of that.

SMART & AVRT are programs I haven't tried myself but sound effective and a lot of people, especially SR members, got a great deal out of it.

Depending on the size of the area you live in there are possibly some free options available. When I lived near Detroit a few years back my county's health department had some free services. Here in Portland there are non-profit, semi-public and church-based services that are either free or sliding scale.

You might even contact your local health services department if just to see if they can give you a referral. Or even a local hospital. Many of these have persons whose entire job it is is making referrals.

Best of luck!
