Heya Andrew,
I use LifeRing in addition to attending AA meetings on occassion, not really doing either program but taking from both to make my own psuedo-program. They have a "Recovery By Choice" Workbook which allows you to really reflect on causes on drinking, from your lifestyle, history, environment, etc... and ways to attempt to work through them. I found in invaluable to getting a lot of thoughts onto paper in a consistent and organized way, possibly the best $20 I ever spent.
Even the FAQs say many LifeRing members are also AA members, they aren't mutually exclusive.
