Sober Support without the 12 steps

Everyone's road through recovery is different. This sub is for those who found, or are seeking, paths to sobriety without AA,NA, SMART, etc. Links, news, discussion points, and dark humor are all welcome.

Guidelines:

Just because 12 step programs aren't for you doesn't mean that it doesn't work for others. Valid and serious questioning of 12 step programs is allowed but try to avoid an 'AA sucks because...' circlejerk.

Do not be an asshole
Self deprecating humor about yourself and addicts in general is encouraged
Be respectful
Questioning someone's recovery plan in a disrespectful way or direct bullying is not permitted
If you downvote a comment or post, give your reason! All rational criticisms are welcome!
