I'm an alcoholic but have been to both NA and AA. I have found both to be incredibly enlightening and wonderful programs. I go to more AA meetings but my sister has been equally helped by NA.
Jez, just for interest's sake, I also tried to find out about AA before I first went...but found the best way for me to make up my mind was just to go. I phoned up the helpline and asked if someone could meet me outside maybe 10 mins early...I asked them the relevant questions and just listened. It showed me enough to want to be part of it and keep going back. I am so grateful I tried it and I didn't go with my initial instinct which was, "OMG, you are not "AA" bad yet!!!!!" SO so so glad I went!
I'd suggest you just try it and take it from there, you literalyl have nothing to lose, and so much to gain.
Good luck!
