This forum isn't a non-12 step forum, it's a secular forum. I don't have a problem with this forum, I am very happy it is here.
I'd personally love to hear about other programs that help out secular people, but there just seems to be somewhat of a lack of experience of that here. I know there are programs out there like life ring, SMARTrecovery and rational recovery and I'd be happy for someone to share their experiences with them so I can know more about them.
Blake, you're pretty damn cool. I do have
some experience with LifeRing/SOS. Mostly online, but I attended a couple of f2f meetings in Northern Cali, while visiting family. I also tried to get a f2f going in my area a couple of times.
