Hi Cloud

There's a lot of links to secular recovery programmes here, including SMART.

I think reading the websites themselves may help you work out where each programme is coming from :)
They may be radically different to what you're used to.

Ditto to Dee's post--plenty of approaches out there and in here-if one looks, one will find...Best wishes.

SR rules prevent us from discussing 12 step programs in the Secular Connections forum, so I'll just say this - if the alternatives promoted the same thing as the 12-step programs they wouldn't be very good alternatives. :)

Definitely give the link Dee provided a look. Also Google Rational Recovery/AVRT. A link to that isn't provided by SR, but there are quite a few people in Secular Connections using that technique.

Best of Luck. :a122:
