Welcome to Babble, and thank you for being a guest expert.
My question is where to find alternatives to AA meetings for group support for recovery from alcoholism. Are there resources available that aren't part of in- or out-patient programs, or is that the best place to look for group support? I have read of other groups such as Women In Sobriety, and they appear to be variations on the 12-step programs.
Also, I have concerns about substituting one addiction for another - the groups I have met with appear to offer caffeine, nicotine, and processed sugar as viable alternatives to drinking.
Many thanks in advance,
partlycloudy
