I know a lot of people run from recovery when they have an alcohol or substance abuse problem because they are atheist, or just don't believe in the Higher Power 12 Step basics. 12 Step has worked for me, but I do know that it doesn't work for everyone... So here are some links for y'all to check out if you'd rather get into a recovery program that doesn't involve 12 Step Basics. Hope this is helpful!

Smart Recovery
Quote:
SMART Recovery? offers free scientifically based mutual help groups (face-to-face and online) for overcoming addictive behaviors.

Rational Recovery

Quote:
Rational Recovery is the concept of immediate self-recovery through planned abstinence put into practice, using an easily-learned thinking skill called Addictive Voice Recognition Technique? (AVRTsm). Drawn from the experience of people who recovered on their own, AVRT helps you take back your life from substance addiction -- and from recovery!

Life Ring

Quote:
The LifeRing program features an open architecture: how you maintain your sobriety and how you rebuild your life is your choice. There are no Steps and no sponsors. Building on the abstinence platform, you construct your own individual recovery program in a cooperative environment. Because you design and build it yourself, you become deeply invested in your recovery, and you grow into a resilient, confident, and independent person who lives life to the fullest, free of alcohol and other addictive drugs.

Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS)

Quote:
SOS is an alternative recovery method for those alcoholics or drug addicts who are uncomfortable with the spiritual content of widely available 12-Step programs. SOS takes a reasonable, secular approach to recovery and maintains that sobriety is a separate issue from religion or spirituality. SOS credits the individual for achieving and maintaining his or her own sobriety, without reliance on any "Higher Power." SOS respects recovery in any form regardless of the path by which it is achieved. It is not opposed to or in competition with any other recovery programs.

Moderation Managment

Quote:
Moderation Management (MM) is a behavioral change program and national support group network for people concerned about their drinking and who desire to make positive lifestyle changes. MM empowers individuals to accept personal responsibility for choosing and maintaining their own path, whether moderation or abstinence. MM promotes early self-recognition of risky drinking behavior, when moderate drinking is a more easily achievable goal.
