hello Smiling,
yes, 7 + at the moment, and planning to not go back ever again.
i got involved with LifeRing, both online and face-to-face, and it served me well.
it is secular and based on human effort, peer support.
it's a very non-dogmatic place, and plenty open-minded. sobriety is defined strictly as abstinence.
i felt much as you do about a spiritual route, but since being sober a few years am definitely leaning that way now , which is a whole other story.
definitely people get and stay sober in many different ways.
you say "i want to get sober but..."
the thing about getting sober that's really important, no matter which way you choose, is to not drink.
obvious, i know, and i'm only saying it because i was stuck in the "i want to get sober BUT..." place for a long long time....
