AA isn't for everyone. If it is not for you, there ARE other support options out there, such as SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma, DRA -Dual-Recovery Anonymous (for mental health + addiction), Life Ring Secular Recovery. Most have online options also. Do a Google search. In addition to these structured support groups, there are online and in-person sober communities, options for a recovery coach, 1-on-1 therapy, and podcasts which could be helpful, and even books. Addiction loves secrecy and keeping you isolated - then it wins. No one gets through this alone. Please reach out. Wishing you all the best!!

@vmarie2 Agreed. I believe connection is key to deal with this disease of addiction. AA worked for me, but like you said, there are other alternatives. Spending time with like minded people, who understand how my mind works helps me so much. It is a primal need in humans/animals to have a tribe. It is in our DNA.
