Alternatives to AA and the 12 Steps

There are many approaches to getting sober and giving up alcohol. And while AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) has become a mainstay in the recovery community, it’s not the only way to get sober. Far from it!

So what are the alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12 Steps?
