Question, anyone know of alternative programs to AA. Nothing against AA I have had success with it. But I'm interested in alternatives.

Don't let anyone here tell you that it doesn't work. AA wasn't for me but I've seen it work wonders for others.
Do not try to do it alone. All good advice here on programs but the first step is the same. So are the rest of them really but I digress.
1st step... do it!!
The Satanic Temple Sober Faction
NA welcomes people of any addiction. Alcohol receives no special recognition, the term addict is all encompassing. Check it out.
Whenever I hear the words “AA didn’t work” I wonder how much work the person is doing. AA only works if you are completely honest, that you are “seeking recovery with the desperation of a drowning person” and that you have completely surrendered. “Thoroughly have we seen a person fail who has rarely followed our path.”
AA is not the only way. Plus, there is no one way in AA. The paths to sobriety are plentiful. I do believe in daily programs. Whether it’s AA or any other way, it takes work to get sober. I think the saying it works if you work it can be said in all recovery programs. For that matter, all of the slogans and saying of AA can and do apply to most everything in life. The journey of recovery is about change and growth
I understand. AA has worked for me. I love AA. But I want to broaden my network and meet more sober people
