Curious about Lifering

Hello All,

I am new here, just joined a few days ago--thanks for all the warm welcomes! I quit drinking and smoking cigarettes just 3 days ago but I'm feeling strong and I am determined to keep going (and I won't change my mind).

I am using the AVRT method now, I tried AA about 5 years ago and stayed sober for 3 mos., never really felt comfortable there--it felt hokey and preachy to me and it felt like it was taking up my whole life. So many rules and regulations and people telling you what you should and should not do. (Please note that I mean absolutely no offense to those that have gotten sober this way).

I don't want to make my sobriety a big job this time around--I just want to stop drinking-- but I am intrigued by Lifering which I've seen some members mention here. I just think it would be nice to have a face to face support group without all the religion, endless steps and handholding, etc. Can anyone who's been tell me more about it and if they found it useful for them?
