AA didn't work out well for me either.

I've heard there are other recovery programs out there, but I'm not too much into "group" thinking as I've been horribly damaged by the abuses of those with these types of mindsets in the past.

With that being said, however, recovery is still possible even if we choose to not participate, it's just a little less difficult if we have some kind of peer support.

Good luck on your road to recovery!
